Parramatta Light Rail

With Greater Western Sydney’s population growing at a rapid rate, the NSW State Government is investing in transport infrastructure solutions to boost connectivity, productivity and liveability.

Solution

Our surveying team has been working on the Parramatta Light Rail project since 2016 – initially selected to undertake preliminary surveys on the 12-kilometre preferred light rail route for Stage 1. Developing a methodology for digitally representing existing Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) and Council information about subsurface assets in conjunction with Transport for NSW and Arup, our team is helping Parramatta Light Rail’s designers and engineers to mitigate the risk of unplanned service disruptions to nearby homes and businesses during construction.

Community consultation connects Western Sydney

Engaging with residents about the project’s rationale and benefits has formed another important component of our work on Parramatta Light Rail, with RPS communications specialists helping to deliver a comprehensive program of engagement activities since the Stage 1 route was announced. Activities have included dedicated community information sessions, pop up events, letterbox drops, online surveys, property owner engagement and collaboration with stakeholders.
