Shady Acres
The Sydenham to Bankstown Metro bears the hallmarks of "Shady Acres" as written by renowned Canterbury historian Lesley Muir
Local Politicans
NSW Labor opposed the Metro Southwest including at the 2019-20 Parliament Inquiry into the Sydenham-Bankstown Line Conversion (but has since reversed its position in government)
Metro Scandal
The Parliament Inquiry into Sydenham - Bankstown Line Conversion (2019-20) recommended the full release of the Business Case, yet Labor now in government refuses to publish the document.
The NSW Government has pushed ahead of supporting increased densities and up-zoning along the Sydenham to Bankstown line corridor. One Member of Parliament that previously opposed to the Metro Southwest owns property in a current Transport Oriented Development (TOD) zone.
