Sydney Metro has officially revealed the final station designs for the transformative Western Sydney Airport Metro line—an $11 billion project that will redefine connectivity for the region. Spanning six new stations, this city-shaping infrastructure will link St Marys to the future Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport and the new city of Bradfield.
A Design Grounded in Place and Culture
The newly released station designs reflect a strong connection to the Cumberland Plain landscape, with a focus on cultural heritage, sustainability, and place-making. Renowned architecture studio Hassell, in collaboration with First Nations design consultancy Djinjama, led the project with a strong emphasis on co-design and community input.
Each of the six stations—St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham, Airport Business Park, Airport Terminal, and Bradfield—features materials, colours, and textures that draw inspiration directly from Country. Passengers will encounter these cultural references through elements such as the plaza spaces, walkways, and station buildings.
Community consultation played a pivotal role in refining the designs. After public exhibition of the initial concepts, feedback from local stakeholders and residents was incorporated, helping ensure the final product is both functional and meaningful for Western Sydney communities.
A Glimpse at the Stations
- St Marys Station – A major interchange station, linking the new metro to the existing suburban T1 Western Line.
- Orchard Hills Station – Designed to support future residential and commercial growth in this emerging suburb.
- Luddenham Station – A key link for local communities and nearby educational and medical precincts.
- Airport Business Park Station – Positioned to serve the surrounding employment lands and logistics hub.
- Airport Terminal Station – Integrated directly with the new Western Sydney International Airport, ensuring smooth connections for travellers.
- Bradfield Station – The new city’s central metro hub, located near the heart of Bradfield and set to serve as a gateway to innovation, employment, and education precincts.
Project Progress
Track laying is already underway, with progress being made northward from Luddenham at a pace of up to 100 metres per day. The line remains on track for completion and operational readiness by April 2027, supporting the airport’s scheduled opening.
Looking Ahead
As the Western Sydney region continues its unprecedented transformation, the Metro line will serve as a critical backbone—connecting people to opportunity and driving investment in areas like Badgerys Creek, Luddenham, and the Aerotropolis Core.
Bradfield International Real Estate will continue to monitor key infrastructure updates and provide insights on how major transport projects are influencing land use, investment trends, and regional growth.
