The Sydney Metro City Line is part of a new metro line connecting Sydney’s north west to the CBD and Sydney’s inner west. With six new and two altered stations, the project provides quality precincts, easy access and convenient interchange. It provides new ways to move around the city, representing a transformative chapter in Sydney’s history that echoes the impact of the Sydney Harbour Bridge when it opened in 1932. The expanded metro network provides unrivalled connectivity to Sydney’s employment, financial and retail districts; unlocks the Barangaroo harbourside precinct by delivering its first railway station and has capacity to move more people across Sydney Harbour in the busiest hour of the peak than the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour Tunnel combined.

Professor O’Carroll is Deputy Head of School in Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW. He is developing destructive per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment technologies, as well as investigating the factors that control their fate. Additionally, he has completed a number of field trials investigating the utility of nZVI formulations developed in his laboratory for contaminated site remediation. He frequently gives media interviews related to contaminants in the environment and advice on government policy (e.g., invited to give evidence to the Australian Senate and the NSW Parliament). He is an associate editor of the journal Water Resources Research. 

Professor Vinayak Dixit is an expert in transport systems engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He is the founding Director of TRACSLab, the world’s largest and a pioneering multi-modal virtual reality simulation platform for studying human factors. His research focuses on transport risk and emerging technologies such as connected autonomous vehicles and quantum computing. Professor Dixit continues to further the professional through curriculum development and mentorship in Transport Engineering. He has engaged with industry, policy and media to ensure translation of research. He leads UNSW’s Global Research and Innovation Program, supporting international research and startup initiatives.
