Background
Sydney Metro is constructing the Sydney Metro line, from Bankstown to Sydney CBD and this includes an underground station in Waterloo. The station is bound by Botany Road, Raglan, Cope and Wellington Streets and will provide access to high speed rail, for residents of Waterloo and reduce demand on nearby Redfern and Green Square train stations.
As part of the new station, streetscape improvements are
proposed on Raglan, Cope and Wellington Streets to accommodate the increased
pedestrian activity resulting from the change in land use. These changes will
complement the NSW Government proposals for the redevelopment of existing
Department of Housing properties within Waterloo, on the eastern side of Cope
Street, opposite the new train station.
