The New South Wales government is seeking local and international industry feedback for the Sydney Metro West project.

The industry feedback will help shape the project to ensure a market led and innovative approach to project development. 

This first stage of Industry Engagement, which will take place between 25 September and 27 October 2017, will help to define the project to ensure the desired transport and land use outcomes, focusing on six key themes:

• Project Objectives, Requirements and Benefits
• City Building Opportunities
• Station Options, Design and Constructability
• Operations, Trains and Systems
• Technology, Innovation and Future Proofing
• Project Delivery

Sydney Metro is the biggest urban rail project in Australian history. Sydney Metro West will provide a direct connection between the CBDs of Parramatta and Sydney, linking communities not previously serviced by rail as well as supporting growth between the two major CBDs.

This state-of-the-art railway helps address Sydney’s rapid growth, with the city’s population to increase above 6 million in the next 20 years.

Sydney’s west is growing the fastest, requiring new transport infrastructure to keep up with more people and more jobs. An extra 420,000 people are expected to move into the corridor between Greater Parramatta and central Sydney over the next 20 years.

Sydney Metro West will work together with the existing T1 Western Line, effectively doubling rail capacity from Parramatta to the CBD and supporting the Greater Sydney Commission’s vision for better connections between these two major centres.

The NSW Government will integrate transport and land use planning along the corridor, with the project will be delivered as an underground metro railway line.
