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 metro 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, especially on the eastern side of Cope Street, opposite the new train station. A report on Traffic Treatment - Streetscape Improvements - Cope Street, Waterloo was submitted to LPCTCC at its meeting on 15 October 2020, but was deferred in order to update the plan incorporating the comments raised in the previous meeting.
