In March 2021, the project received its first major planning approval for the project concept between Westmead and the Sydney CBD and major construction work between Westmead and The Bays. To view this information, visit ‘Map Layers’
Sydney Metro is now seeking approval for further major civil construction work, including station excavation and tunnelling, between The Bays and Sydney CBD.
Sydney Metro is undertaking early planning on a preferred location for a services facility in Lilyfield which is required to support operation of Sydney Metro West. Following a comprehensive evaluation, a preferred site has been identified on Glover Street in Lilyfield which would be in the vicinity of the current amenities block to the side of Leichhardt Oval 2.
This site would meet technical requirements, including direct emergency access from the Sydney Metro West tunnels, while avoiding impacts to the nearby sporting fields and residential properties.
It would also avoid directly impacting the Bay Run which would remain open throughout construction. Driveway and footpath access would also remain open, including to the Leichhardt Rowing Club. Full access to the sporting fields would also be maintained.
