The metro station will be integrated into the area and will align with recommendations of the local council’s Five Dock Town Centre Urban Design Study, building on Five Dock as a vibrant and friendly village to live in, work and visit.

Station excavation and tunnelling

In July 2021, Sydney Metro awarded Acciona Construction Australia Pty Ltd and Ferrovial Construction (Australia) Pty Ltd Joint Venture the contract to deliver 11 kilometres of twin metro rail tunnels between Sydney Olympic Park and The Bays.

These works at Five Dock include:

• site establishment and demolition – installing hoarding, demolishing buildings, protecting and/or relocating utilities, transport network modifications, conducting investigations, installing staff facilities and services to the construction site, installing piles and initial excavation
• excavating the station shafts – to a depth of 30 metres (approximately 10 storeys)
• excavating a station cavern – using a roadheader and/or excavator with rock hammer attachments
• removing excavated material – via trucks through Great North Road.
