Plans to build towers above Central Station will be ‘engineering feat’ | Mattonews
The NSW government has warned that a window of opportunity to reshape 24 hectares around Sydney’s Central Station will close within the next decade because the rail lines it plans to build over will become too busy for a project of the scale proposed., plazas and a pedestrian avenue separating towers were unveiled on Monday in a draft blueprint for the site at the southern end of the CBD, which is dominated by Australia’s busiest train station.
“We’ve only got a 10-year window to do it because the forecast is that these lines are going to become busier, and we will lose the opportunity to deal with that huge operational structure,” he said. “This is just about as complicated as engineering gets in the city. There is always the risk of something going wrong or finding something you didn’t realise was there,” he said.construction of a light rail line
“It is a huge engineering feat, but it has a potential to realise a lot of value for the city centre and make use of underutilised real estate,” he said.
