Sydney Metro Review

The NSW Government has completed a comprehensive and independent review into the Sydney Metro project, the Sydney Metro Review.

Final Report

The Sydney Metro Review examined value for money, delivery models, project governance and passenger impacts. It evaluated the delivery of Sydney Metro to date, the current state of progress against delivery targets and made recommendations for getting the maximum value out of the project, including looking at better land use, urban renewal and better integration with the wider transport network.

Sydney Metro has a role in creating vibrant new communities, enhancing existing places, delivering integrated station developments and acting as a catalyst for urban renewal.

The review was conducted by Mr Mike Mrdak, who is Chair at the New South Wales Regional Growth Corporation, and Chair at the Airport Development Group. Deputy Chair of the review was Amanda Yeates, CEO of SunCentral.
