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.
