Parramatta. Railway station proposed for CBD

Parramatta City Council seeks an underground railway station, near the Church Street and Victoria Road intersection to cater for the growth in commuters to the city. The proposal is an amendment to the controversial Parramatta-Epping link and would join the Rydalmere station (as was proposed in the initial plan through the current Rosehill station). Council said the proposed Civic Place project, the expansion of the UWS campus at Rydalmere and the development of a “knowledge park” near the Rydalmere station, would mean over 30,000 more commuters coming to Parramatta than the 6000 planned in the original 1998 studies.
