Call for Registrations of Interest Overview
Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project.
Services started in May 2019 in the city’s North West with a train every four minutes in the peak. Metro rail will be extended into the CBD in 2024, with new metro railway stations at Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Barangaroo, Martin Place, Pitt Street and Waterloo, and new metro platforms at Central, and then onto Bankstown in 2025.
Testing and commissioning of the new metro line is underway between Chatswood to Sydenham section, and another critical Project focus is the timely and efficient procurement and delivery of the remaining scope for the Sydenham to Bankstown metro conversion.
Southwest Metro is the 13.4-kilometre metro conversion of the existing Bankstown Line between Sydenham and Bankstown. Sydney Metro has developed a revised delivery strategy for the remaining scope to deliver Southwest Metro, which will be procured through five main packages.
