Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 gets planning approval

The Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 project has been granted planning approval by the NSW Government, bringing this game-changing megaproject for Western Sydney closer to realisation.

The next step will be approval from the Federal Minister for the Environment and Water.

The tender process to deliver the bridge linking Melrose Park and Wentworth Point is underway. The initial contract for the enabling works is expected to be awarded later this year, with main construction work on the bridge to start in 2025.

Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 will connect Parramatta CBD to Sydney Olympic Park via the growing communities of Camellia, Rydalmere, Ermington, Melrose Park and Wentworth Point. The 10-kilometre extension will include 14 new light rail stops that will provide residents with a public transport link and unlock future housing growth.
