Premier Chris Minns noted that Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport is moving forward quickly. He emphasized that the Aerotropolis will become a thriving hub. And because the metro connects directly to key parts of Sydney, it supports long-term regional development.

Sydney Metro drives regional growth

The $10.5 billion, 23-kilometre line can transport 7,740 people per hour in each direction. Because of this, the project serves both as a vital transport link and a strong driver of economic activity.

Federal Minister Catherine King highlighted the milestone, calling it a key step in building a reliable metro for passengers, residents, and airport workers. And NSW Transport Minister John Graham confirmed that every detail aims to deliver a smooth transition from air to rail.

Construction also continues on Sydney Metro West and the Sydenham to Bankstown conversion. With more than 3,000 workers already on site, the effort demonstrates the state’s determination to complete world-class transport projects on schedule.

Because this metro system combines accessibility, speed, and future growth, it will redefine Western Sydney’s transport network. And with every milestone achieved, the vision of a modern, fast, and connected city becomes reality.
