Delivery Agency:

Sydney Metro

Project Description:

The Sydney Metro City & Southwest project extends the metro railway from Chatswood under Sydney Harbour, through the CBD and beyond to Bankstown.  

The project includes two components:

(b) Sydenham to Bankstown: upgrading and converting the T3 Bankstown Line to metro standards between Sydenham and Bankstown with all stations to be fully accessible with lifts and level access between platforms and trains.

When complete, Sydney will have 31 metro railway stations and a 66km standalone metro railway system.  

SMCSW is being delivered through multiple contract packages including (but not limited to) a tunnelling package, multiple stations packages and a line-wide contract. The OTS2 package is an availability PPP where the State will retain demand risk. A substantial State contribution will also be made during construction.  The OTS2 PPP is an augmentation to the existing (Northwest) OTS PPP and has been structured so that on the "OTS Incorporation Date", the OTS Project Deed will fall away as a standalone document and the Sydney Metro Northwest and Sydney Metro City will be governed by the OTS2 Project Deed.  The OTS2 Project Deed will also govern the on-going delivery and subsequent operation and maintenance of Sydney Metro Southwest when it is completed.

  • a concession period of 22 years post-completion after which the road would revert to public ownership (since extended to 34 years);

a toll of $1.10 for cars and $3.30 for trucks (December 1989 dollars), escalated at the greater of CPI or 9% per annum  (the right to increase tolls at 9% per annum was removed in 1993 under the MS Western Extension arrangement).

  • extension  of the concession period by 8 years to 2022;

30-Jun-1997 Sale of RMS Loans

The loans previously advanced by RMS to Interlink (totalling $85 million) to construct the MS South West and the MS Western Extension were sold to CBA for $110 million. The proceeds were used to partially fund the construction of the MS East extension.

15-May-2002 Moorebank Avenue Interchange

Interlink proposed to finance and construct the grade separated interchange at the intersection of the MS and Moorebank Avenue with the estimated capital cost of $32 million, to be funded by the increased traffic projected as a result of the improved traffic flow, with the balance of the cost being funded by an increase in the MS concession term until August 2023.

19-Jun-2012 MS South West Motorway Widening

The RMS and Interlink Roads reached final agreement to widen the MS South West Motorway to three lanes in each direction, between Beverley Hills and Prestons. The $400 million project was funded through:
