WSP joint venture to design five new stations for Sydney Metro West project

WSP, GHD, and Jacobs have been appointed in a joint venture to design five new underground stations for Sydney Metro West - Stations Package West, one of the largest and most significant public transport projects currently underway in Australia.

The 24-kilometre Sydney Metro West alignment will connect Greater Parramatta to the Sydney central business district. It will play a key role in improving access to fast, reliable public transport for growing communities, strengthening connections between Sydney’s inner and western suburbs and supporting the delivery of new housing, jobs and local services along the corridor. Stations Package West is being delivered by Gamuda as lead contractor with design by WSP, GHD, and Jacobs as design partners.

The joint venture has been engaged to provide integrated engineering design services for Stations Package West – the stations at Westmead, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock and The Bays.

Sustainability will be a core focus of the design approach, with station designs targeting a 6‑Star Green Star As Built rating, reflecting a focus on high‑performance and environmentally responsible infrastructure.

“With a strong track record delivering complex station projects for Sydney Metro, we bring deep experience, established local teams and a thorough understanding of metro requirements to deliver designs that will create a modern, world‑class metro experience for communities across Greater Sydney,” Derek Martin, Director of Building Services at WSP, said.

Being entrusted to deliver the Stations Package West, along with our integrated team, is a testament to the exceptional work our teams continue to deliver. We look forward to delivering five stations on Australia’s largest transport project.”
