PROJECT HISTORY

Mar 2022 The 2022-23 Federal Budget allocated $78 million toward developing a business case for the project.
May 2022 Infrastructure NSW's 2022 State Infrastructure Strategy recommended the project be re-sequenced to avoid delivery risks caused by complexity and a shortage of skilled labour. The NSW Government will assess the strategy's recommendations before making a decision on their implementation.
Jun 2025 The 2025-26 NSW Budget allocated $55 million over four years for the development of a business case for future rail connections between Bradfield and broader South-West Sydney. Of this funding, $27 million was apportioned to Sydney Metro, with the remaining funding directed towards Heavy Rail business case development.
