Inner West Light Rail

The Inner West Light Rail extension was opened to the public in March 2014, delivering on the NSW Government’s commitment to build new major transport projects for customers.

With services every 10 minutes between Central and Dulwich Hill during peak hours, customers can hop on board and enjoy reliable and convenient services.

The light rail extension project consists of nine new stations from Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill, 5.6 kilometres of new track and new-look light rail vehicles. A Public Private Partnership (PPP) will operate and maintain the Inner West Light Rail network, as well as design, construct, operate and maintain the 12 kilometre CBD and South East Light Rail project.

For fares and schedule information about current light rail services, please call 131 500 or visit www.transportnsw.info.

Green light for light railConstruction will soon be underway on the CBD and South East Light Rail (CSELR) as planning approval has been received for the new $1.6 billion project.

Transport for NSW would like to thank everyone who provided feedback on this important infrastructure project that will improve services for transport customers, increase productivity and support economic growth.

Light rail will offer frequent, fast, reliable light rail services and will improve public transport access to Central, the CBD and major destinations in the south east, including Moore Park and University of NSW.

Conditions of ApprovalThe approval of the CSELR project by the Minister for Planning includes conditions, established by NSW Planning and Environment, to address key impacts of the project during design, construction and operation of light rail.

Visual quality and landscapeConditions have been established to minimise impacts to existing vegetation and visual impacts of light rail construction and infrastructure. The project has been designed to mitigate impacts to large trees, where possible. Where the loss of trees is unavoidable, Transport for NSW has committed to planting replacement trees for every significant tree lost within the local area.

Tree species, size and planting locations will be determined in consultation with local councils. Trees close to the alignment that do not require removal would be protected to minimise potential impacts during construction.

DesignThe Randwick stabling facility, Rozelle maintenance facility, Anzac Parade pedestrian bridge, Wimbo Park in Surry Hills and the interchange at High Cross Park in Randwick are subject to design conditions. Further consultation on design will be undertaken through reference groups that will be established.

OperationThe conditions also apply to the operation of light rail, such as managing noise and vibration of light rail vehicles, and stabling and maintenance facilities, and assessing the performance of traffic, access and parking provisions.

Transport for NSW welcomes the conditions of approval and remains committed to ongoing engagement with the community and local stakeholders about the detailed design, construction and operation of light rail. These conditions strengthen the commitments already made through mitigation measures detailed in the Environmental Impact Statement.

Public Private Partnership and early works updateThere has been strong private sector interest in delivering the expansion of Sydney’s light rail network.

Laing O’Rourke Construction Australia has been appointed as Managing Contractor to carry out early works, starting in coming months.

A Public Private Partnership (PPP), that will design, construct, operate and maintain the 12 kilometre CSELR project, as well as operate and maintain the Inner West Light Rail network, will be awarded ahead of major construction beginning in 2015. The project is due to be complete in four to five years after that.

Service investigation works completeExtensive service investigation works, verifying locations of existing buried utilities such as water, telecommunications, gas and electricity, have been completed.

During these works, the project team surveyed over 3,500 underground pits and dug over 200 trenches along the 12 kilometre alignment. The data gathered from the service investigation works will play a crucial role in developing the design for the CSELR and will help minimise impacts on businesses, residents, pedestrians and motorists.

Business and community forumsLocal businesses and residents are encouraged to be a part of the project. Transport for NSW is establishing local business and community forums in each of the precincts along the route to help prepare businesses for construction and to ensure the community is kept informed during construction.

The local business and community forums are starting now and will run throughout the life of the project.

For more information on, and to take part in, local business and community forums, please visit sydneylightrail.com.au or contact projects@transport.nsw.gov.au or call 1800 684 490.
