‘Legacy-making’ Sydney metro stations take out top prize in NSW Architecture awards



Sydney’s recently opened network of city metro stations have taken out one of the top prizes at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2025 NSW Architecture awards, announced on Friday night.

Dozens of Australian architecture firms, engineering companies, landscape designers and public art experts shared in the 2025 NSW architecture medallion for their work on the Central, Barangaroo, Gadigal, Victoria Cross, Martin Place, Waterloo, Sydenham and Crows Nest stations in what the judges hailed as a “legacy-making” and “city-shaping” cross-sector collaboration.

“The project is transformative, not just in transport terms but in how it redefines civic experience in Sydney,” the judges’ citation said.

“This is infrastructure that supports not just movement, but social and cultural connection as a catalyst for future development and change. It demonstrates the far-reaching impact architects can have on shaping public life and delivering tangible benefit to society and the environment.”

Just over 6.3 million trips on the Metro in May. A record.
Amazing.
Clearly, a week or so of Vivid may have added to the figures, however, without the metro, how many of these people would have attended?

Sydney has clearly spoken regarding efficient and reliable transport such as the Metro.

Yet we have our current transport minister saying there will be no more "vanity projects". Wtf?

I’ll get criticised by the usual suspects, but Labor doesn’t do infrastructure, they will employ public servants and spend money that way.Nothing has changed since Bob Carr and Wran. They will open things with a smile that they opposed though. Politics 101.

Unlike you, I am primarily a Labor voter.
However, on a state basis, that has changed over the past decade.
I completely agree that Labor in NSW are completely useless when it comes to investment in transport infrastructure.
They have confirmed that over the past few days with their latest budget planning and puerile comments about what has been built over the past decade, which was only catching up with the lack of infrastructure builds for decades by both parties.

It appears however that any further transport infrastructure builds are for the moment non-existent. Absolutely hopeless they are. Yes, they have returned to the Wran/Carr years of doing absolutely nothing, which is why the Libs had to catch up during their last term and thank god for Gladys and the Libs that they got so much built during their tenure.
Strangely enough, it wasn't just transport. They actually spent more on education and health than transport. But that doesn't get reported.
