Opened in 2024, Barangaroo Station is part of Sydney Metro’s City line, universally recognised for reshaping Sydney by enhancing everyday life with new and exciting ways to move around and greater public transport choice.

With its backdrop of Sydney Harbour, this memorable station plaza and park instils the site’s heritage and Indigenous culture through artwork and interpretation, creating a pivotal piece of urban design and landscape architecture that is both a place to visit, connecting to nature, history and community, and a link to other locations and attractions. At a local level, up to 16,000 people pass through Sydney Metro Barangaroo station daily, commuting to Barangaroo’s commercial and dining precinct, the headland Park or through to the Walsh Bay Arts and Cultural Precinct and the Rocks.

With the wider Barangaroo precinct still in a state of development and delivery, the design team for Sydney Metro Barangaroo Station has responded to a complex site with a multitude of stakeholders to create an iconic station interface with world-class transport infrastructure, which serves as a catalyst for development across the entire precinct.

The contemporary station design needed to respect the heritage fabric of the area and integrate with the existing public domain, including Nawi Cove and Barangaroo Headland Park, continuing the legacy and vision of Paul Keating and Peter Walker.

Commuters and tourists now have easier access to the ever-growing Barangaroo precinct, the Wulugul Barangaroo Foreshore Walk, Headland Park and Hickson Road theatre district, previously challenging to reach via public transport.
