Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

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 19 May 2022 and was one of three items related to the Waterloo Metro station that were collectively deferred to allow for design revisions as requested by the Committee. There were no design changes for Raglan Street arising from the 19 May 2022 LPCTCC and the design plans are resubmitted for the Committee's endorsement.
