The NSW government has announced station locations and development precinct opportunities for the Sydney Metro-Western Sydney Aerotropolis train line.
Construction of the driverless railway line for the Western Sydney Aerotropolis is expected to start this year, with exact station locations confirmed along the 23-kilometre route.
There will be stations at St Marys, Orchard Hills and Luddenham as well as two at the under-construction Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) airport, and one at the Aerotropolis.
The state government is currently investigating opportunities for station precinct development at St Marys and Orchard Hills.
Development opportunities around the Luddenham and Aerotropolis stations are also being considered through the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Plan delivered by the Western Sydney Planning Partnership.
According to the Sydney Metro and government overview, the new metro stations create opportunities to provide for community needs in consideration of the future vision, relevant planning controls and the local character of each area.
Federal minister for population, cities and urban infrastructure Alan Tudge said the fast-tracking of these parts of the $11 billion Aerotropolis project was part of the pandemic recovery strategy.
“This city-shaping investment is being fast-tracked to help our economy recover from Covid-19 and deliver a major stimulus right in the heart of Western Sydney,” Tudge said.
“Western Sydney residents will reap the benefits of this investment well before the first train leaves the station.”
New South Wales minister for transport and roads Andrew Constance said the tender process for the delivery of 10 kilometres of twin metro railway tunnels has also started.
“Construction starts later this year on a project that will become the transport spine for the Western Parkland City.
“The new railway will link residential areas with jobs hubs and connect travellers from the new airport with the rest of Sydney’s public transport network,” Constance said.
Supporting the airport and Aerotropolis is a key part of the Western Sydney City Deal, a 20-year agreement signed in March 2018 by the Australian Government, NSW Government and eight Western Sydney councils.

Sydneysiders and Melburnians, put aside your equally outstanding flat whites for a moment. Stop bickering about whether great beaches beat cool laneways (they do) and desist from debating whether all baristas require waxed moustaches (ideally).
Because Brisbane is closing in on the title of Australia’s best city, and we must join forces to keep this subtropical upstart in its place.
Time magazine recently named Brisvegas on its “World’s Greatest Places” list, and omitted our cities. It’s a huge shock (and who knew they still published Time magazine?). But they might be onto something.
Time points to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted in the maroon metropolis. Brisbane will do a fine job, even though it’ll baffle the world when rugby league is added to the schedule and Queensland is allowed to field its own team.
Time’s most radical claim is that Brisbane is worth visiting now, but tourism is surging. Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda recently drop in to catch Hamilton , but hundreds of Hamilfans flew up to watch his interview with Leigh Sales (presumably unaware that it would subsequently arrive on iView for free).
A leading local agent has appraised each side of these duplex's to be worth $665k on completion and rent for $495 per week. So that is massive potentail instant equity of up to $390K on completion, which is incredibly hard to find.
