Sydney is expanding and the NSW government is working hard to deliver an integrated transport system that meets the needs of customers now and in the future.

Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport program. Services on the North West Metro Line between Rouse Hill and Chatswood started in May 2019 on this new standalone metro railway system, which will revolutionise the way Sydney travels.

Before the planning department’s assessment team is Sydney Metro’s over station development proposal at 5 – 7 Figtree Drive in Sydney Olympic Park. This site is owned by Sydney Metro and is known as Site 47 in the Sydney Olympic Park 2030 Master Plan.

Indicative Commercial Podium

Sydney Metro’s concept DA seeks consent for building envelopes above and adjacent to Sydney Olympic Park metro station, including:

a maximum floor area of 67,370 square metres,
21 x storey commercial building (known as Building 1),
27 x storey mixed-use building with retail and residential accommodation (known as Building 2), and
45 x storey mixed-use building with retail and residential accommodation (known as Building 3).

The precinct seeks to establish parameters to attract more businesses and residents in a well-connected location reducing reliance on private transport modes whilst continuing to ensure Sydney Olympic Park can operate and function as a world class event and sporting precinct.

The new metro will consist of an underground station with an island platform in a north-south orientation for day-to-day mode, and two additional side platforms that would provide increased capacity in event mode. Customers would access the station from the main proposed public space running north-south between Herb Elliott Avenue and Figtree Drive.
