First Look Inside: Barangaroo Station Nears Completion

Construction nears completion on Barangaroo Station.

The first look inside the new Barangaroo Station has been shared as work on the newest Sydney Metro stop nears completion.

Train services on the station are due to being early next year for the new entry way at the tip of Sydney’s commercial spine.  

The waterfront station precinct plans were released mid-2022 and included a future entry to Aqualand’s Central Barangaroo project as well as improved access to nearby Nawi Cove.

Arcadis and Mott MacDonald developed the plans under the joint-venture monniker of Metron along with principal sub-consultants Robert Bird Group, Foster + Partners, Architectus, WT Partnership and Group DLA.

Barangaroo Station will become one of the terminuses of the Metro North West Line, which opened in 2019 and is extending out to Tallawong north-west of the city. In the future it will service the Western Sydney Airport via St Marys.

The accessible station included terrazzo flooring on both levels, 7700 Sydney sandstone panels, 10 escalators, and eight lifts to the platform which is 25m underground.

There is artwork within the station by Khaled Sabsabi called In Time We Shall, which is related to the native tree species in the Barangaroo headland.

Above ground, upgrades are progressing on nearby Hickson Road and the public domain surrounding the station with new footpaths, landscaping, lighting and bike facilities.

The waterfront precinct is undergoing rapid expansion, led by Lendlease’s One Sydney Harbour Precinct and three International Towers, Crown Residences’ One Barangaroo as well as Aqualand’s Central Barangaroo.

Minister for Transport Jo Haylen said the region was growing, and to date more than 5000 people had worked more than 1.3 million hours to build the new station.

“We’re delivering Barangaroo’s first rail connection, linking passengers to Sydney’s growing waterfront precinct and providing high-quality public transport access to Sydney Harbour,” Haylen said.

“This station will be a game-changer for workers, visitors and residents, who will benefit from a world-class metro at their doorstep with improved connectivity to wider Sydney.

“From 2024, Barangaroo station will alleviate congestion at Wynyard and Martin Place train stations and improve access to the northern part of the Sydney CBD and The Rocks for locals and tourists alike.”

When metro services start next year, travel from Barangaroo to Martin Place will take an estimated two minutes while under the harbour to Victoria Cross in the city’s north would take three minutes.
