Bella Vista is a rapid transit station being built by the Northwest Rapid Transit (NRT) consortium at Lexington Drive, Bella Vista, on the western edge of the Norwest Business Park in Sydney, Australia. The station is being built as part of Transport for New South Wales's Sydney Metro Northwest project, to serve future train services to Rouse Hill and Chatswood. The station is planned to eventually serve trains to the Sydney central business district, Bankstown and Hurstville as part of the government's 20-year Sydney's Rail Future strategy.
The NSW Government announced a future railway line to Castle Hill, south-east of Bella Vista, as part of its Action for Public Transport strategy in 1998. Bella Vista was to be served by a bus rapid transit connection to the new rail terminus. A longer-term plan presented by Co-ordinator General of Rail Ron Christie three years later included a 'Mungerie Park Line', with a station at Burns Road (now called Memorial Avenue) in Kellyville – about one kilometre north of the present Bella Vista Station site. In the years that followed, Burns Road 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.
