The proposed Sydney Olympic Park metro station would be located south of the existing Olympic Park Station. The station would sit to the east of Olympic Boulevard with the main station entrances between Herb Elliott Avenue and Figtree Drive, and off Dawn Fraser Avenue. The station would provide interchange with the planned Parramatta Light Rail, the T7 Olympic Park Line and buses.
Along with Parramatta, The Bays Precinct, Pyrmont and Hunter Street stops on the proposed Sydney Metro West line, the Sydney Olympic Park metro station will be delivered as an Integrated Station Development (ISD). The overstation development will include commercial, retail and residential space.

Procurement

| Procurement note: | The Sydney Olympic Park ISD was expected to be delivered under a D&C contract for the station portion and as a development agreement for the overstation development. However, the project will now be procured through the 'Sydney Metro West Partnership' model – which will be further developed and refined during the next stages of procurement. Under the proposed model, contractors, investors and Sydney Metro will enter into a ‘Partnership’ for the delivery of different works packages on the Sydney Metro West project, however, further details of the Partnership’s contracting models and structures have not been made publicly available. |
