The New South Wales Government is seeking feedback on the Environmental Impact Statement for Parramatta Light Rail Stage Two, which will help to shape the final design of the project.
The Environmental Impact Statement is open for comment until Wednesday 7 December 2022 and will provide the opportunity for the community to learn more about the project and provide feedback.
The project will link Stage One and the Parramatta CBD with the entertainment and sport precinct of Sydney Olympic Park, delivering a much-needed public transport solution to connect Greater Parramatta to the Olympic Peninsula.
Stage Two will provide services approximately every 7.5 minutes between 7am and 7pm on weekdays and 14 fully accessible stops over a 10-kilometre two-way track. There will be an 8.5-kilometre walking and bike-riding path parallel to the light rail corridor linking to the existing network.
Minister for Transport, Veterans and Western Sydney David Elliott said Parramatta Light Rail Stage Two would transform how people move around the region.
“GPOP is one of the fastest growing areas in the Central River City, and this project will deliver significant improvements across Western Sydney by connecting great people with great places while supporting jobs and housing growth,” Elliot said.
Following planning approval, construction on Stage Two will start with enabling works and delivery of the bridge across the Parramatta River between Melrose Park and Wentworth Point.
