Kellyville metro station is an elevated station on theMetro North West & Bankstown Line, as part of theSydney Metro network. The station was built byImpregilo-Salini andMetro Trains Sydney forTransport for NSW, and is situated along Samantha Riley Drive,Kellyville, inSydney,Australia. Train services from the station run toTallawong andSydenham, with a journey time to Chatswood of around 33 minutes and to Sydenham in around 56 minutes. As theNew South Wales Government'sSydney's Rail Future strategy is delivered over the next 20 years, services have been extended to theSydney central business district (CBD) and towardsBankstown in late 2025. Kellyville Station opened on 26 May 2019 as part of the Sydney Metro Northwest line from Chatswood to Tallawong, which has since been extended down towards Sydenham via the City.[4][5]
Kellyville, on Sydney's rural fringes, was not considered suitable for new suburban development until 1988, when thenPlanning MinisterBob Carr abandoned the state's long-standing policy of concentrating new development along existing rail corridors. Instead, the government green-lit development in the area on the proviso that a corridor be preserved for mass transit to be built in future.[6] This corridor, which runs besideOld Windsor Road, was announced as the alignment for theNorth West T-way, a newbus rapid transit line 10 years later[7] and construction began in 2004. Kellyville's three T-way stations – known as Riley, Burns and Balmoral – opened in March 2007, providing commuters with fast bus access from Kellyville to theParramatta CBD.[8] Commuters travelling to the Sydney CBD, however, needed to catch buses along theM2 Hills Motorway and congestedSydney Harbour Bridge.
The Government's 1998 plan also envisaged a future rail line to theHills District, but only as far asCastle Hill.[7] Following dire warnings fromthe state's most senior rail bureaucrat about a looming capacity crunch on the rail system, a new "North West Rail Link" (NWRL) was proposed in 2005, featuring a station for Kellyville at the corner of Old Windsor and Burns roads – the site of the Burns T-way station, then under construction. A Burns Road Station remained government policy even when the NWRL was dumped in favour of theNorth West Metro proposal in 2008. The 2009 version of plan featured two stations, one at Burns Road, called Kellyville, and a second at Samantha Riley Drive.[9]
TheAustralian Labor Party was heavily defeated at the2011 state election in part because of its tendency to announce, cancel and re-announce transport projects.[10] The incomingLiberal/Nationals government, led byBarry O'Farrell, had put a promise to build the NWRL at the centre of their election platform. During consultation and detailed design, it was decided that Burns Road would be replaced with two stations:Bella Vista, on the edge of the giantNorwest Business Park, and Kellyville. Kellyville Station would be built on a new railway viaduct (dubbed the "skytrain") above the existing Riley T-way station.
As part of the project'spublic–private partnership delivery model, a consortium was chosen to operate the stations and trains. To ensure that the stations were designed to be maintainable and with customer service in mind, the operator would also be responsible for designing and building the station buildings. (An Italian joint venture, Impregilo-Salini, was chosen to build the viaduct as part of a separate $340 million contract.) The Metro Trains Sydney consortium, includesMTR Corporation, which designed, built and operates the stations on theMass Transit Railway in Hong Kong.[11][12][13]
Work on the new station began in June 2014.[14] The NWRL was rebranded Sydney Metro Northwest the following year.
Kellyville has two side platforms. It is served byMetro North West & Bankstown Line services.[11][15] Kellyville station is served by a number of bus routes operated byBusways andCDC NSW.[16]
