Parramatta Light Rail
Construction update Parramatta CBD – April to May 2021
COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION 31 March 2021 – PLR IW 260
The $2.4 billion Parramatta Light Rail will connect Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia, transporting around 28,000 people every day to key destinations, new communities and essential services. It is expected to open in 2023. Parramatta Connect has been engaged by Transport for NSW to complete this work. Work schedule Standard construction hours are 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 6pm, Saturday and Sunday. Noise intensive work hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm, Saturday. Most work is carried out during these hours. Working times and conditions are detailed in the project Environmental Protection Licence.
Conditions where work may be done outside standard construction hours are: • Work is low noise generating – for example surveying, use of hand tools, deliveries and vehicle movements • To mitigate unacceptable risks to safety or traffic flow • To mitigate risks of cracking and defects with large concrete pours • Delivery of oversized plant or structures requiring special arrangements to transport on public roads • Work carried out by utility authorities under separate environmental approvals and conditions • Emergency work to prevent harm. When work is required at night, noisy work will be carried out for a maximum of four nights in a seven-day period. Noisy work will be done as early in the night shift as possible. A detailed work schedule can be found at www.parramattalightrail.nsw.gov.au/weekly-works. ‘Eat Street’ (Church Street between George and Palmer Streets) standard construction hours are 7am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday and public holidays. By agreement with the Parramatta Light Rail Business Reference Group, work outside standard hours on ‘Eat Street’ are limited to the hours of 12am to 8am.

G Parramatta Light Rail Parramatta CBD – April to May 2021 Impacts There are some noise, dust and vibration impacts associated with these works, which at times will be loud, continuous and disruptive. Some of the ways we manage this are: • Completing work during standard construction hours where possible • Providing respite periods for any high noise activities • Using noise blankets where possible, and non-tonal reversing beepers • Monitoring and reviewing noise levels • Consulting with directly affected residents and businesses • Using water carts to wet down areas as required Turning off equipment and vehicles when not in use. Equipment Equipment will include, but not be limited to, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, concrete saws, jackhammers, compactors, power tools, chainsaws, mulchers, hand-held tools, excavators, trucks, light vehicles, lighting towers for night work, elevated work platforms and vacuum excavation trucks.
