Hello and welcome to the virtual information room for Sydney Metro West.
Please use this room to learn more about major civil construction between The Bays and Sydney CBD for Sydney Metro West.
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.

Sydney Metro commenced planning for over station development at Pyrmont by lodging a Scoping Report with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) in 2022. The scoping report identified a new mixed-use development above Pyrmont Station.
Sydney Metro has now lodged a Concept State significant development application (SSDA) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed over station development at Pyrmont. The EIS is on public exhibition until Tuesday, 9 April 2024. Stakeholders and the community are invited to have their say by making a submission to DPHI.
Anyone can make a submission in any language. DPHI will collate submissions and publish them on their website. The issues raised in the submissions will be considered before the proposed development is assessed and a determination is made.

A change of 1 dBA or 2 dBA in the level of a sound is difficult for most people to detect.
A 3–5 dBA change corresponds to a small but noticeable change in loudness.
A 10 dBA change corresponds to an approximate doubling or halving in loudness.
Anyone may make a submission, in any language, about the Environmental Impact Statement, to The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.
