The NSW Government will deliver Sydney Metro\u2019s Hunter Street development in a first-of-its-kind model, which is set to revitalise a critical area to Sydney\u2019s CBD.
\u00a0
The Government today launched an industry registration process to deliver the new Hunter Street Station and the jobs, economic and tourism precinct around this new Sydney CBD metro station.
\u00a0
The new Hunter Street Station will be located in the heart Sydney\u2019s business district and become a transport hub with connections to George Street, light rail, train services at Wynyard, Sydney Metro West and the Sydney Metro City and Southwest station at Martin Place.
\u00a0
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the Government is calling on the private sector to be involved in bringing this new precinct to life, inviting businesses to be a part of shaping the future of this part of the CBD.
\u00a0
\u201cSydney Metro Stations will change the way people live and commute, bringing people home faster and bringing prosperity to local businesses,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\u00a0
\u201cThere\u2019s an opportunity in Hunter Street to integrate transport with a new city precinct, weaving it into the fabric of the city. It\u2019s part of our long-term vision to revitalise the CBD and bring Sydney roaring back to life after the challenges of the pandemic.
\u00a0
\u201cTransport, foot traffic, the right mix of businesses and public spaces are what makes cities flourish, by having a vision for how we integrate these elements we\u2019ll help shape the Sydney of the future.\u201d
\u00a0
The new station is expected to have the busiest city-bound platform across the entire Sydney rail network in the morning peak, taking pressure off Wynyard and Town Hall.
\u00a0
Minister for Transport and Veterans David Elliott said the Government is eager to work with industry partners on this once in a century infrastructure investment, which will link new communities to rail services, slash travel times across the network and support employment growth.
\u00a0
\u201cHunter Street Station will revitalise Sydney\u2019s northern CBD and become a gateway to jobs, business and tourism and a catalyst for economic recovery,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis station will be one of the jewels in the crown of the city-shaping Sydney Metro West project \u2013 that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important economic, community and place-making outcomes will be put at the forefront of the new station\u2019s design and delivery.\u201d
\u00a0
\u201cIt will take customers around 20 minutes to get from Parramatta to Hunter Street on this new rail infrastructure project and they\u2019ll be getting off the train to an integrated, world-class transport hub that will transform this part of the CBD.\u201d
\u00a0
Sydney Metro Chief Executive Peter Regan said the Hunter Street Precinct Development Partner Model will ensure the best precinct and value for money outcomes given the project\u2019s significant interest.
\u00a0
\u201cBidders for Hunter Street Station will have to show how they will improve the local area and create a precinct and a sense of place, not just a station,\u201d Mr Regan said.
\u00a0
Sydney Metro is calling for the ideas and input of key industry players to help create a world-class transport hub, including the underground station, the buildings and the spaces above it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
