In March 2017, Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Transport Minister Andrew Constance unveiled the new Sydney Metro station designs. The new Metro Stations have been designed to allow for future over-station development. It is envisioned that an over-station development located at Victoria Cross, North Sydney would revitalise the area, creating a vibrant transport, commercial and retail precinct in the heart of the North Sydney business district. Mecone was engaged by Transport for NSW as part of a team of specialist consultants to design and deliver an integrated Sydney Metro Victoria Cross over-station development. Mecone’s role in the project includes the provision of strategic advice, review and advice on applicable planning controls and to manage the planning approval process.
