History
The NSW Government announced a future railway line to Castle Hill as part of its Action for Public Transport strategy in 1998. A more specific but longer-term plan presented by Co-ordinator General of Rail Ron Christie three years later included a 'Mungerie Park Line', with a station at Norwest Business Park. In the years that followed, Norwest Station formed part of successive north-western rail proposals, including the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Plan in 2005 and a short-lived metro proposal in 2008.
Following a change of government, work on the North West Rail Link commenced in 2013.Construction will soon begin on the North West Rail Link after tunnel contracts were awarded Daily Telegraph 25 June 2013 As part of the approved proposal, an additional station, Bella Vista, was added within the business park.
