• Orchard Hills to service a future commercial and mixed-use precinct
• Luddenham to service a future education, innovation and commercial precinct
• Two stations within the airport site, at the airport terminal and at the airport business park
• the commercial heart of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. 

The SCAW Works for the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project includes: 

• Approximately 3.7 kilometres of viaduct structures in three sections
