City Briefing

Sydney Metro Northwest Update and Place-Making

Thursday 20 September 2018 5.00-6.15pm
PTW, Level 11/88 Phillip St, Sydney

Sydney’s new world class metro system is the biggest program of public transport infrastructure under construction in Australia and the largest urban rail infrastructure investment in the nation’s history.

Services start in the city’s north west in the second quarter of 2019 on Australia’s first fully-automated railway, with 13 metro stations and 4,000 new commuter car parking spaces.

The success of Sydney Metro rests not just on the delivery of a new, world-class metro rail service – but also on the effective integration of this service into activated station precincts and adjacent urban areas.

The Sydney Metro program includes transport, commercial and residential mixed land use opportunities at and around the station precincts. Sydney Metro aims to ensure the development of vibrant station precincts meet customer and community needs, transforming the way Sydney travels and helping shape the future of Australia’s largest city.

Ivan Glavinic will provide an update regarding Sydney Metro Northwest, discuss the integration of metro services and the development of new vibrant station precincts.
