NEW SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK PRECINCT UNVEILED

This comes as tunnelling surges ahead on the Metro West line with two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) breaking through at Sydney Olympic Park Metro Station. This new precinct approved by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure will be made up of three buildings between 21 and 45 storeys, including more than 300 new homes, and a mix of commercial and retail uses.

This precinct will also be connected to additional public transport links including the Sydney Olympic Park train and light rail stops while enhancing the destination’s reputation as a premier location for cultural, entertainment, recreational and sporting events.

To provide increased capacity during events, Sydney Olympic Park metro station will also feature platforms on both sides of the train, allowing large crowds to disembark and board simultaneously.

Minister for Transport, Jo Haylen said, “Sydney Olympic Park metro station will have sports and entertainment fans cheering when it provides unrivalled access to our biggest venues, with fast and easy 15-minute metro trips from the city and a five-minute hop to Parramatta. Our new Metro station will include wide platforms on both sides of the train that will allow us to load and unload passengers quickly. With bus, train, ferry and light rail connections also close by, it’ll make it even easier for us to handle large crowds when the world’s biggest stars come to town.”

Work to build the integrated station development is expected to start from 2027, following a review prepared by the future development partner.
