The new Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport line is set to become the transport backbone of Greater Western Sydney. Spanning 23 kilometres, the line will connect the future Bradfield city centre in the south to St Marys in the north, delivering a fast and reliable link to the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. 

MGP is proud to contribute to this city-shaping project. Our Hydraulics team are preparing workshop drawings for key stations along the route, including Bradfield Metro Station (formerly Aerotropolis), St Marys Station, and Airport Terminal Station. 

We’re delivering: 

  • Under-platform fire hydrant systems 
  • Stormwater and sewer design services 
  • Seismic restraints and bracketing across all systems 
  • All services in LOD400 to ensure high-level coordination and construction readiness 

This work highlights MGP’s role in supporting critical infrastructure for one of Sydney’s most significant transport projects.

Penrith Stadium Redevelopment

Penrith Stadium Redevelopment

Home / Articles posted byMGPadmin

The NSW Government is investing $309 million to redevelop Penrith Stadium – an upgrade designed to support the growing population of Western Sydney and enhance the event-day experience for all visitors. 

The proposed design reflects input from more than 3,000 fans, families, and community members since 2022. The result is a family-friendly venue that honours the stadium’s legacy while meeting the needs of a dynamic and growing community. 

The redevelopment aims to: 

  • Create a modern, accessible stadium for Penrith’s community, athletes, and performers 
  • Increase year-round use of the precinct through shared facilities and flexible spaces 
  • Support the growth of sport and entertainment in the region 
  • Deliver an outstanding experience for visitors attending events, concerts, and conferences 

MGP’s Role – Sydney Water & Hydraulic Design 

MGP was engaged to undertake the Sydney Water design, approval process, and site inspections associated with the redevelopment. A critical aspect of our involvement was the design, and managing, of the relocation of twin DN500 rising mains along with a gravity sewer— these major water infrastructure assets traversed the site.  

Along with the design, MGP worked with the constructors on a detailed construction methodology and sequencing plan, ensuring no impact to service continuity or asset integrity during the works. Our flow isolation flow management (FIFM) onsite ensured a safe connection from old to new assets. 

Our Hydraulic team are proud to be delivering the Workshop drawings for the redevelopment of Western and Eastern stands, as well as supporting infrastructure across the broader stadium precinct. 

Our hydraulic documentation supports all major areas of the redevelopment, including: 

  • Plumbing and drainage for player and public amenities 
  • Trade waste and water services for food and beverage areas 
  • Coordination with site-wide infrastructure and services 
  • Compliance with building codes and water-saving standards 

By working closely with the broader project team — including builders, consultants, and architects — we’re ensuring the hydraulic systems are seamlessly integrated with the stadium’s structural and functional design. 

A Future-Ready Venue 

This upgrade will bring Penrith Stadium in line with modern expectations for accessibility, sustainability, and functionality. We’re proud to support a project that not only enhances game-day experiences but also benefits the wider Penrith community for years to come.

St Mary’s Cathedral College New Vertical Campus 

Home / Articles posted byMGPadmin

St Mary’s Cathedral College—one of Australia’s oldest and most respected schools—is entering a new chapter with the development of a second, state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Sydney. 

Located at 52–58 William Street, the project involves the adaptive reuse of a commercial office building into a modern, multi-storey learning facility. The vertical campus will feature contemporary learning spaces, seminar rooms, and dedicated facilities for the performing arts—designed to support the evolving needs of students and staff. 

MGP’s Role 

Drawing on our extensive experience with Sydney CBD developments, MGP was engaged to manage water infrastructure design and approvals—an area where many city-centre projects encounter complex challenges. 

This site presented unique constraints, including a heritage-listed brick oviform asset dating back to 1868, located just below the surface. In addition, a DN450 stormwater asset ran along an adjacent boundary, with sections of it exposed above ground. 

Our team successfully navigated these challenges by managing the Sydney Water “Out of Scope” process, ensuring the development could proceed while maintaining the integrity of critical and heritage-listed infrastructure.

Jindabyne Education Campus MGP Infrastructure work

Jindabyne Education Campus

Home / Articles posted byMGPadmin

As part of the NSW Government’s commitment to revitalising public education, the NSW Budget is investing $2.1 billion in new and upgraded schools across regional NSW. This significant funding will help ensure that growing communities have access to world-class public education. 

A major investment in the future of the Snowy Mountains region, a new purpose-built education campus is being developed in Jindabyne. The campus will feature separate facilities for Jindabyne Public School and Jindabyne High School, offering modern learning environments designed to support students, teachers, and the wider community. 

The campus will also include a new Connected Learning Centre (CLC), delivered by TAFE NSW, alongside specialised Vocational Education and Training (VET) facilities. These facilities will support practical, industry-relevant learning in areas such as hospitality, construction, entertainment, and primary industries. 

MGP’s Role 

MGP was engaged to deliver critical water infrastructure solutions for the new Jindabyne Education Campus, ensuring compliance with Snowy Monaro Regional Council requirements. 

Our scope included managing authority approvals and designing water and wastewater services, notably a 1km water main diversion and a sewer diversion tailored to the site’s needs. 

To improve performance and reduce maintenance, we specified Rehau prefabricated polymer manholes—an advanced alternative to traditional concrete. 

Working within a constrained service corridor, our team carefully coordinated designs around existing utilities, including stormwater and communications, to deliver a practical, integrated solution. With multiple services being installed simultaneously, we ensured effective cross-discipline coordination to avoid clashes and maintain construction efficiency. 

MGP is proud to support this landmark education and infrastructure project for the Snowy Mountains region.

The Sandstone Precinct – Lands Building

The Sandstone Precinct - Lands Building

The Sandstone Precinct - Lands Building

The Lands Department building was built by the NSW colonial government in the late 19th century. It was designed by government architect James Barnet in the Renaissance Revival style popular at the time. It has been continuously occupied by the Lands Department, in its various forms, since being opened in 1892. Its last occupant was the Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

In September 2015 the NSW Government announced that the Lands Department Building, and the Education Department Building (The Sandstone Precinct), will both be redeveloped as a luxury hotel and retail destination.

The project involves the adaptive reuse of the state-significant heritage-listed buildings located on Bridge Street in Sydney.

The MGP Sydney Water team were involved in the earlier stages of the redevelopment, including locating Sydney Water assets and the Out of Scope Building Plan Approval. Our team is currently working with Built and Sydney Water to ensure the proposed development and new basement tunnel are compliant.

Our hydraulic team have recently been engaged to complete the design of the hydraulic and fire services. Working closely with Built, JRK Plumbers and Hassell Architects to ensure we provide effective, sustainable, and efficient design solutions, whilst ensuring the conservation of this heritage building, an iconic Sydney landmark.
