Metro West Progresses
The Sydney Metro West mega railway project will include an underground station at Westmead.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance this month announced that after extensive community and industry consultation, the NSW Government has identified further locations for Sydney Metro West.
Sydney Metro West will now include:
- A new underground metro station at Westmead;
- A new underground metro station linked to an existing suburban station on the T1 Northern Line, either at Concord West or North Strathfield, allowing faster connections for customers from the Central Coast and Sydney’s north to Parramatta and Sydney CBD;
- Options for new intermediate metro stations at Camellia/Rydalmere, North Burwood/Five Dock, Kings Bay, and Pyrmont – subject to further community and industry consultation.
- These are in addition to already announced stations at Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, The Bays Precinct, and Sydney CBD.
A Metro West that services Olympic Park and the Bays Precinct will be the key transport element in ensuring the development in the middle ring of Sydney is serviced by appropriate transport. By linking these areas through a metro to an airport connection, we will activate urban areas in Sydney’s middle ring and service the Sydney Fish Market redevelopment and Bays Precinct development.
The Metro is also critical to ensuring Olympic Park continues to develop from purely a sporting precinct, into a commercial and residential hub.
