Services start in 2019 in the city’s north west with a train every four minutes in the peak. Metro rail will be extended into the CBD and beyond to Bankstown in 2024. Sydney Metro includes new CBD railway stations underground at Martin Place, Pitt Street and Barangaroo and new metro platforms at Central. In 2024, Sydney Metro will have 31 stations on a new 66-kilometre rail system – the biggest urban rail project in Australian history. Sydney Metro will have ultimate capacity for a train every two minutes in each direction under the CBD. Sydney Metro will revitalise communities, transform places and make the nation’s only global city more livable and connected. Not only will this new mass transit system move more people safely and reliably than ever before, it will unlock the potential of Sydney as a growing global city, creating new and diverse opportunities to support changing communities. Joining other great global mass transit development initiatives, the NSW Government has identified Sydney Metro stations which can be better integrated with the areas around them, creating world- class places that will shape our city’s future. In building new metro stations for Sydney, an exciting opportunity exists to integrate global best practice and innovative thinking to create a sense of place. Vibrant neighbourhoods help strengthen communities, attract investment and enhance liveability. A dynamic place integrates restaurants, parks, footpaths, buildings and other public spaces to invite greater interaction between people and foster healthier, more social and economically viable communities. Sydney Metro consists of Sydney Metro Northwest, which is due for completion in 2019 and Sydney Metro City & Southwest, which is due for completion in 2024. Sydney Metro City & Southwest includes the construction and operation of a new metro rail line from Chatswood, under Sydney Harbour through Sydney’s CBD to Sydenham and on to Bankstown through the conversion of the existing line to metro standards.
