Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance announced that the NSW Government was calling on the world’s best transport operators to implement a world-class transport system for Newcastle, alongside the delivery of the city’s new light rail line.
“We are asking global leaders to create Transport for Newcastle, connecting the city with one major operator to plan and run Newcastle Light Rail, buses, ferries and interchanges. With light rail on the way, there is an opportunity to completely re-think the transport network in Newcastle to support jobs, growth, and urban renewal in the CBD,” Constance said.
A market sounding process has begun and will run until the end of the year, when the NSW Government will evaluate interest in the integrated transport model.
