Sydney Metro is inviting organisations to register their interest in the development of the Hunter Street Station and Precinct.
Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport program. Services on Stage 1 of the network between Rouse Hill and Chatswood began in May 2019 on this new autonomous metro railway system, which is revolutionising the way Sydney travels.
Sydney Metro West is a new 24-kilometre metro line that will connect Greater Parramatta with the Sydney CBD. Stations have been confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock, The Bays, Pyrmont and Hunter Street (Sydney CBD). This infrastructure project will double the rail capacity between Greater Parramatta and the Sydney CBD with a travel time target between the two centres of about 20 minutes.
About the Station and Precinct
The Hunter Street Station will be located at the northern edge of Sydney’s CBD, with direct access to a major employment area, and tourist destinations perched along Sydney Harbour including Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House.
The station will provide an integrated transport hub linking three stations connecting to Wynyard and Martin Place through underground links, allowing for interchange between heavy rail, metro, light rail and bus services.
The Precinct is intended to included an underground station, and two over station development buildings over both the east and west station entries.
The Precinct will also include underground walkways to allow for easy transit all the way from Martin Place, to Barangaroo making it an activated precinct that has pedestrian movement at the forefront of this public domain.
