The Sydney Olympic Park Business Association fully supports this project.
Sydney Metro West will provide much needed and vital public transport connectivity East to the Sydney CBD and West to Parramatta and Westmead, from the growth area that is Olympic Park, and the rapidly densifying neighboring areas across the Olympic Peninsula.
This commitment by the NSW Government shows a level of confidence in this area that will make Sydney Olympic Park an even more attractive destination for private sector investment, in turn providing quality jobs that people can access easily and increasing productivity.
It is a major opportunity for residential and commercial development and will help create an active and vibrant place all day, every day of the year.
Together with PLR Stage 2 and a bus interchange, the Sydney Metro West station at Olympic Park is the long awaited positive game changer for business large and small, community and visitors. It will also help serve the transport needs of this area as the preeminent major events precinct in NSW, if not Australia.
While it is a NSW Government project, it is our view that the Federal Government has an obligation to contribute to major infrastructure projects of this scale and we encourage the State Government to seek funds to assist deliver this important piece of infrastructure as soon as physically possible.

Overall the Pyrmont Station construction plan looks good. My only concern is where Edward St meets Pyrmont Bridge Rd. A zebra crossing ( Ideally with traffic calming mitigation) is required here. This intersection is already very dangerous with many pedestrians distracted/ blindly stepping off the curb without looking for traffic when travelling east along Pyrmont Bridge Rd. With two significant construction sites and many truck movements during construction this intersection will become even more dangerous for pedestrians who will be even more distracted.

On-site information days for locals (Must have a residential/ business address with a 2009 postcode) at the beginning and/ or during each of the different stages of construction would be ideal and help to keep the community informed/ up to date on the projects progress.

We’re Caveman Barbers located at Shop 7a, 109 Pitt St Hunter Connection. We have been trading for nearly 5years at this location with a very good foot traffic.
After the recent lockdown, our business is starting to be back to normal.
And now with the news that the arcade will be blocked and no walk through.
Only one way out through Pitt Street. This will definitely stop our business trading completely and will be a loss of income for us by 100% and we expect compensation.
This is our main income.
Looking forward for your quick response.
