The new Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport metro railway will become the transport spine for Greater Western Sydney.

Connecting communities and travellers with the new Western Sydney International (Nancy- Bird Walton) Airport and the growing region.The project includes six new metro stations at:

• St Mary’s, interchanging with the existing suburban railway station and connecting customers with the rest of Sydney’s rail system.
• Orchard Hills, to service a future commercial and mixed-use precinct.
• Luddenham, to service a future education, innovation and commercial precinct.
• Bradfield, for connectivity with the future new central business district of the Western Parkland City.
• Two stations within the airport site, at the airport terminal and at the airport business park.

BG&E Scope

• Provided geotechnical services to CPBG for slope stability.
• Designed the stabilisation measures for the proposed cutting.
• Designed the 300 metre long Orchard Hill station box and dive structure, and the bridge crossing above the dive structure.

Benefits

The city-shaping project, from St Mary’s through to the new airport and Bradfield City Centre, will provide a major economic stimulus for Western Sydney, supporting more than 14,000 jobs during construction for the NSW and national economies.

The new 23 kilometre railway will link residential areas with job hubs including the new Bradfield Metro Station (previously Aerotropolis) and connect travellers from the new airport to the rest of Sydney’s public transport system.
