Parramatta Light Rail Celebrates Women in Construction

It's inspiring to see so many women working onsite and at the forefront of the Stage 1 light rail project, in a resounding reflection of the International Women's Day 2022 theme: 'Break the Bias'.

Over 1260 women have been inducted on the project to date, of which more than 230 are employed in non-traditional trades such as construction, metals and engineering, and electrical.

The project continues to build an inclusive workforce through its support of Aboriginal participation, disadvantaged, disabled and underrepresented groups as well as trainees, apprentices, and undergraduates.

When services commence from 2023, the project will continue its diverse workforce with supply chain targets including 20% of overall workers being women.

The $2.4 billion Stage 1 of the Parramatta Light Rail will connect Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia.
