A new public plaza at Dulwich Hill Station has opened, marking another milestone in the transformation of Sydney’s southwest transport corridor.
The opening forms part of the broader Sydney Metro Southwest Metro project, which is delivering new infrastructure and public spaces between Sydenham, NSW and Bankstown, NSW.
A new active transport corridor running along the full length of the Southwest extension of the Sydney Metro M1 Line has also been released to market for tender.
The 1,200 square metre Dulwich Hill Station Plaza strengthens connections between local bus services, the nearby village centre, Dulwich Hill Light Rail, and future metro services expected to commence later this year.
Designed as more than a pedestrian thoroughfare, the plaza features sandstone seating, upgraded lighting and landscaping, creating a safe, accessible and welcoming space for community use.
Running alongside the plaza is the future alignment of the South West Active Transport Link (SWATL), known during development as MetroWay.
The shared path will extend 13.8 kilometres and run parallel to the Southwest Metro corridor, linking new metro stations with existing and planned cycling networks.
The route is being designed for people of all ages and riding abilities and will include tree planting, integrated public art, rest areas, lighting and clear wayfinding.
It will also connect to more than 350 bicycle parking spaces at southwest stations, encouraging greater use of active and public transport.
The SWATL contract is scheduled to go to tender in February, with construction expected to be awarded by the end of the year.
The new greenway is due for completion by the end of 2028.
