The NSW Government will proceed with Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2, committing $602.4 million to start works and commence a detailed planning process to move ahead with the Western Sydney megaproject.
Construction on the project will begin with a bridge connecting Wentworth Point to Melrose Park and other early works to deliver Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2.
The project will drive revenue for small businesses in the area and change how the community travels and connects to places across Greater Parramatta in the future.
Stage 2 of the Parramatta Light Rail will connect Stage 1 and the Parramatta CBD to Sydney Olympic Park via Camellia, Rydalmere, Ermington, Melrose Park and Wentworth Point.
An Environmental Impact Statement for the project will be released for public comment by the end of the year.
