The station locations for the new Sydney Metro \u2013 Western Sydney Airport project to service Greater Western Sydney and the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) airport have been revealed, with the project also set to deliver a multi-billion dollar boost to the New South Wales and Australian economies.
\nNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Minister for Transport Andrew Constance and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres today inspected the site of the future Western Sydney Aerotropolis Station.
\n\u201cThe Sydney Metro \u2013 Western Sydney Airport project will support 14,000 jobs, including 250 apprentices and inject billions of dollars to the NSW and Australian economies,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cWhere we are standing today will become a major new transport interchange, right in the heart of the future central business district for the Western Parkland City.\u201d
\nFederal Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure Alan Tudge said construction would start this year on the around $11 billion mega-project that would deliver economic support and local jobs.
\n\u201cThis city-shaping investment is being fast-tracked to help our economy recover from COVID-19 and deliver a major stimulus right in the heart of Western Sydney,\u201d Mr Tudge said.
\n\u201cWestern Sydney residents will reap the benefits of this investment well before the first train leaves the station.\u201d
\nExact station locations have now also been confirmed on the 23-kilometre driverless railway line at St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham and two stations at the airport.
\nNSW Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said the tender process has also started to deliver 10 kilometres of twin Metro railway tunnels, with the call for registrations of interest.
\n\u201cConstruction starts later this year on a project that will become the transport spine for the Western Parkland City,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\n\u201cThe new railway will link residential areas with jobs hubs, and connect travellers from the new airport with the rest of Sydney\u2019s public transport network.\u201d
\nNew South Wales Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the project will be a game changer for the region.
\n\u201cThis will provide the backbone for the economic and broader development of the Western Parkland City,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\nFederal Member for Lindsay Melissa McIntosh said the Australian and NSW Governments are working together in preparation for the airport opening for passenger services.
\n\u201cThe huge investment in Western Sydney Infrastructure projects is creating an interconnected city that will enable innovation, support growth and create jobs to build an exciting future for Western Sydney,\u201d Mrs McIntosh said.
\nSupporting the airport and Aerotropolis is a key part of the Western Sydney City Deal \u2013 a
\n20-year agreement signed in March 2018 by the Commonwealth Government, NSW Government and eight Western Sydney councils.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
