Sydney Metro Waterloo or Sydney University Options – Until 17th July

There is a list of Community information sessions
the closest one for Waterloo will be on 20 June 2015 from 10am – 2pm at Redfern Oval or 18 June 2015 from 4pm – 8pm at TfNSW
Information Centre Ground Floor, 388 George Street, Sydney.

There is a web page looking for comment on the Sydney
University vs Waterloo station proposals which can be found  here
– currently lots of comments in support of Sydney University option. 

The Waterloo
Station
detail is sketchy. The official map Sydney Metro
Waterloo – Sydney University Options
seems to be centred on Waterloo Green
on Raglan Street however this is thought to be unlikely as that is where the
airport line goes. A JBA Urban Planning consultants have produced a paper on
 Sydney Metro Key Stations –this paper has the station
centred on the existing Waterloo shops. It also has Sydney University centred
on where the University joins Victoria Park.

Either Waterloo option would fit with the stated aim of
connections to Botany Road buses and UrbanGrowth’s density proposal based on
the Waterloo station option being accepted – see UrbanGrowth’s Indicative
Density Central to Eveleigh May 30 2015

The proposal says of a Waterloo Station:

A new metro station at Waterloo would help revitalise the
Waterloo precinct and support the extension of the CBD to the south.

It would also:

  • Provide a high quality
    connection with bus services along Botany Road 
  • Provide additional
    connectivity to Australian Technology Park and Redfern Station
  • Contribute to the NSW
    Government objective to transform Waterloo and Redfern.

The metro station would also allow further development
and expansion of the Global Economic Corridor between the Sydney CBD and Green
Square.

UrbanGrowth have their consultation underway during June on http://engage.centraltoeveleigh.com.au/

We encourage you to look at these proposals and make your
views known.
