DALLAS, April 22 — Jacobs (NYSE: J), GHD and WSP have been appointed in a joint venture to design five new underground stations for Sydney Metro West – Stations Package West, one of the largest and most significant public transport projects currently underway in Australia.
The 14.9-mile (24‑kilometer) Sydney Metro West alignment will connect Greater Parramatta to the Sydney central business district. It will play a key role in improving access to fast, reliable public transport for growing communities, strengthening connections between Sydney’s inner and western suburbs and supporting the delivery of new housing, jobs and local services along the corridor. Stations Package West is being delivered by Gamuda as lead contractor with design by Jacobs, GHD and WSP.
The joint venture has been engaged to provide integrated engineering design services for Stations Package West – the stations at Westmead, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock and The Bays.
Sustainability will be a core focus of the design approach, with station designs targeting a 6‑Star Green Star As Built rating, reflecting a focus on high‑performance and environmentally responsible infrastructure.
Jacobs Executive Vice President Sinead Giblin said: “Jacobs’ appointment, alongside our JV partners, builds on our track record supporting transformative rail investments in Australia and globally. These stations will improve connections across Western Sydney while supporting regional economic growth and new housing along the corridor.”
Gamuda Project Director Richard Petaccia said: “Gamuda is very pleased to partner with the NSW Government and the Sydney Metro Team to deliver another vital package for Sydney Metro West, helping to shape the future of Sydney. Being entrusted to deliver the Stations Package West, along with our integrated team, is a testament to the exceptional work our team continues to deliver. We look forward to delivering five stations on Australia’s largest transport project.”
This project continues Jacobs’ delivery of previous Sydney Metro West packages including the environmental and climate change advisory services, and design (in joint venture with Typsa) for the central tunnel and station excavation package, completed in late 2025.
Ranked as No. 2 in Transportation by Engineering News-Record, Jacobs delivers world-class, mass transportation infrastructure solutions that connect people and communities. Projects include New York’s Grand Central Madison program and Penn Station Access, the Elizabeth line in the U.K. and Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit in Malaysia.
