The Sydney Metro City & Southwest project will see a new 30-kilometre metro line extending from Chatswood, under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and southwest to Bankstown.
The City & Southwest line will see new stations constructed at Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Pitt Street, Martin Place and Waterloo. The stations will be delivered as integrated station developments (ISD), allowing for over-station developments.

- new bike parking on Park and Bathurst streets
- wayfinding signage and metro information to be provided, and
- upgrades to pedestrian infrastructure around the station to be refined in consultation with Transport for NSW and City of Sydney Council.
The overstation development works include:
- a new commercial building with a maximum height of 39 storeys (RL 176.8m)
- pedestrian entrances to the over station development (OSD) from located Pitt Street and Castlereagh Street
- commercial lobby and amenities including end of trip facilities
- retail tenancies
- 40 car parking spaces, and
- shared vehicle loading and service facilities.
