The state government of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia has confirmed the six new station locations for the new A$11bn ($8bn) Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project.

The metro project will service Greater Western Sydney and the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) airport.

The six new metro stations will be located in St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham, Western Sydney International Business Park, Western Sydney International Airport Terminal, and Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said: “The Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project will support 14,000 jobs, including 250 apprentices and inject billions of dollars to the NSW and Australian economies.

“Where we are standing today will become a major new transport interchange, right in the heart of the future central business district for the Western Parkland City.”

The 23km-long driverless railway line is touted to be a key part to delivering the Western Parkland City’s integrated transport system. The project is expected to create more than 14,000 jobs during the construction phase.
