The NSW Government announced plans for the stage 2 extension of the Parramatta Light Rail project. Planning for Stage 2 is underway and is expected to be completed throughout 2018.
The NSW Government has started work on a business case for the preferred route north of Parramatta River, which is considered the best option to achieve a fully integrated transport and land use plan for the precincts. A Final Business Case for Stage 2 is expected to be completed in 2018, with an investment decision and details on the timing of construction to follow.
“I am pleased to announce Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 is another step closer to connecting Greater Parramatta to the booming sport, entertainment and employment hub at Sydney Olympic Park. Our preferred nine kilometre route will connect with Stage 1 of the project north of the Parramatta River through the suburbs of Ermington, Melrose Park, Wentworth Point and on to Sydney Olympic Park,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
“We know it will provide a direct, frequent and reliable public transport connection for these areas and connects the new Western Sydney University campus at Sydney Olympic Park with its three campuses serviced by Stage 1,” Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance said.
