Project wins Infrastructure Project Excellence Award

The project's major infrastructure contractor, Parramatta Connect, used innovative approaches during major infrastructure works to minimise community disruption, and accelerate works during periods of reduced traffic to improve outcomes.

In receiving the award, the project was commended for delivering a significant legacy to meet the long-term needs of the Parramatta community through a range of sustainability measures.

These included NSW's first state-of-the-art green track, a shared walking and bike-riding path known as the Active Transport Link, heritage preservation measures, and the use of reused and recycled materials.

The 2022 Awards featured 16 categories recognising individuals, organisations and rail projects.
