The NSW Government recently announced the detailed route for Stage 1 of the Parramatta Light Rail Project.
This will now allow the NSW Government to turn its focus to Stage 2 of the project – linking Camellia to Strathfield via Sydney Olympic Park with planning work for stage two of the project being developed in collaboration with Sydney Metro West.
The metro is an underground railway linking the city, the western suburbs, the inner-city Bays Precinct and Sydney Olympic Park with new stations to be built at Parramatta and Olympic Park.
“We are absolutely confident and assured of stage one and we envisage that we will work towards revealing details of stage two by the end of this year,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“As you can appreciate, not only is there major upgrades and major infrastructure along stage two but we also need to finalise where a future metro will intersect with a light rail and that’s why we’re taking to the end of this year to get stage two done properly.”
The Hon. Andrew Constance MP, Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, has reassured the Business Association of his commitment to both these projects emphasising the importance of getting the planning right.
An announcement on the phase to Sydney Olympic Park and the preferred route will be made later in the year.
