Sydney Metro

RPS is supporting the development of Sydney Metro - a multi-phase project that will provide high frequency ‘turn up and go’ transport options for Australia’s largest city. Sydney Metro will deliver 31 new rail stations between the city’s 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 – West - which will connect the central business districts of Parramatta and Sydney city.

With major tunnelling and construction works planned across some of Sydney’s busiest residential and commercial areas, communication and engagement with community stakeholders has been pivotal in keeping Sydney Metro’s 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 project’s design and delivery have progressed, our survey and heritage teams have assisted Sydney Metro’s engineers and planners to make informed decisions about route selection, avoid construction clashes with water, electricity and other utilities, investigate and protect the city’s heritage and environmental assets.
