Future Focused

Future focused

A strategic centre in the Plan for Growing Sydney, Burwood is ideally positioned to benefit from significant investment in local infrastructure and amenity. A key project is the Sydney Metro West, the new high-frequency railway set to double capacity between Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, which will include a station at Burwood North. It will also make it easy for Burwood residents to travel to the new Western Sydney Airport, which is expected to be completed by 2026. Set to create tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs, the Metro will take pressure off both Burwood Station and the bus network along Parramatta and Burwood Roads.
