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.

A report on Traffic Treatment - Streetscape Improvements - Raglan Street was submitted to LPCTCC at its meeting on 15 October 2020 for endorsement, but was deferred to update the plan incorporating the comments raised in the previous meeting
