The NSW Government announced the Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill light rail corridor will host Sydney’s first GreenWay.
Transport NSW lodged the project application for the light rail extension with the Department of Planning earlier this week.
The light rail extension will utilise the disused freight corridor between Lilyfield and Dulwich Hill, and the associated GreenWay will provide communities with an integrated transport corridor which preserves critical bushcare sites.
The announcement also revealed the recommended 9 stops that form the 5.6 km extension to the light rail network. The recommended stops identified in the project application include:
-
Leichhardt North - west of James St, adjacent to Darley St and City West Link Rd;
-
Hawthorne - between Darley Rd, close to Lyall St and Hawthorne Canal;
-
Marion - north of the overbridge crossing of Marion St, close to Lambert Park;
-
Taverners Hill - northern side of Parramatta Rd overbridge, just east of Battle Bridge over Hawthorne Canal;
-
Lewisham West - south of Longport St overbridge;
-
Waratah Mills - north of Davis St overbridge;
-
Arlington - adjacent to Johnson Park, north of Constitution Rd overbridge;
-
Dulwich Grove - between New Canterbury Rd and Hercules St overbridges; and
-
Dulwich Hill Interchange - adjacent to Dulwich Hill railway station.
Design and construction of the light rail extension is expected to be completed within two years.
