News: Second stage of Parramatta light rail up to 10 years from completion
The government’s draft blueprint for the redevelopment of suburbs dominated by industry near the Parramatta CBD estimates it will take five to 10 years to complete the second stage of the line from Camellia to Olympic Park.
A 325-metre bridge over Parramatta River between Melrose Park and Wentworth Point, near Sydney Olympic Park, would need to be built for the light rail line.
Business Western Sydney executive director David Borger said it would take at least six years to build the second stage, which meant communities along the Parramatta River such as Wentworth Point would be forced to keep driving to get around.
