Planning process

Waterloo Metro Quarter

A concept plan for the Waterloo over station development was approved in late 2019 after public consultation.

The John Holland and Mirvac joint venture has prepared State Significant Development applications (SSDAs) for the detailed design, including a modification to the approved concept for the new Waterloo Metro Quarter.

The applications were lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure and on public exhibition for 28 days, from 5 November to 2 December 2020. Submissions on the development have now closed.

The Waterloo Metro Quarter overview booklet provides a snapshot of the full environmental impact statements and development applications. The presentation shown at the community webinars held in November also has information about the development.

The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has provided final approval for the Waterloo Metro Quarter over station development including the SSD Concept Approval and the Detailed SSD Applications.

Waterloo Station Design and Precinct Plan

Sydney Metro received planning approval for Waterloo Station in January 2017.

John Holland carried out community consultation on the SDPP in June and July 2020.

The Waterloo Station Design and Precinct Plan (SDPP) was lodged in early 2021 to meet the conditions of this Critical State Significant Infrastructure approval for Sydney Metro City & Southwest.

The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) approved the Station Design and Precinct Plan (SDPP) in April 2021. The SDPP outlines the urban, landscaping and architectural design for Waterloo metro station and shows how it will integrate with the Waterloo Metro Quarter and surrounding precinct. It identifies the design objectives and principles, and discusses opportunities to improve public spaces, connectivity, transport and access.
