Sydney Metro
RPS has been engaged by Transport for NSW and its delivery partners to support a once-in-a-generation revitalisation of Sydneyโs urban rail network.
Challenge
RPS is supporting the development of Sydney Metro - aย multi-phase project that will provide high frequency โturn up and goโ transport options for Australiaโs largest city. Sydney Metro will deliver 31 new rail stations between the cityโs northwest and southwest via the CBD.
Our team has been engaged to assist with the development of Sydney Metro - Northwest (Stage 1) which will deliver eight new metro stations between Rouse Hill and Chatswood, and Sydney Metro - City & Southwest (Stage 2) which will continue the line from Chatswood to the CBD and west to Bankstown. We are also providing project development services for phase 3 of the project - Sydney Metro โ West - which will connect the central business districts of Parramatta and Sydney city.

Solution
Working as a key partner to Transport forย NSW within its integrated project delivery office, our team is helping to drive efficiencies for Sydney Metroโs business case development, major package procurement and infrastructure delivery, while streamlining the multi-stage approvals process and engaging with stakeholders to ensure delivered outcomes meet community need.
Weโve provided transport modelling, commercial, property and delivery advice to support development of Sydney Metroโs business cases, in addition to management consulting services for Sydney Metroโs program and corporate functions as the project transitions to a statutory authority.
Providing strategic oversight throughout theย development of Sydney Metro's Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), our team has led the coordination of specialist studies, engagement with government agencies and management of EIS public exhibition processes.
RPS stands for rail project success
With major tunnelling and construction works planned across some of Sydneyโs busiest residential and commercial areas, communication and engagement with community stakeholders has been pivotal in keeping Sydney Metroโs delivery strategy on track.
Our communications and creative consultants have been seconded to the Sydney Metro delivery team to assist with community engagement, media and public relations, while RPS transaction specialists are maximising value for the project through strategic procurement and transaction management advice on $20 billion+ of major works contracts via Design and Construction, Incentivised Target Cost, Program Framework and Public Private Partnership models.
As the projectโs design and delivery have progressed, our survey and heritage teams have assisted Sydney Metroโs engineers and planners to make informed decisions about route selection, avoid construction clashes with water, electricity and other utilities, investigate and protect the cityโs heritage and environmental assets.
