  • Renaissance of Light Rail in Sydney – Key Environmental Challenges, Opportunities and Solutions
    Renaissance of light rail in Sydney – Key environmental challenges, opportunities and solutions David Gainsford (MEIANZ) Transport for NSW Australia [email protected] Paper: Background At its peak, in 1923 Sydney had a 291km tram network that was the largest in Australia and the second largest in the Commonwealth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sydney). By 1961 all tram lines in Sydney had been demolished and were largely replaced by buses. Figure 1 – Extent of Tramways in Sydney in 1947 (http://www.tundria.com/trams/AUS/Sydney-1947.shtml) 1 In 1997 light rail services began operations in Sydney again with a service between Central and Wentworth Park, extended to Lilyfield in 2000. Most of this line operates on a disused freight rail line. The NSW Government released the ‘Sydney’s Light Rail Future’ document in December 2012 (NSW Government, 2012) which details a renaissance of light rail projects in Sydney. The first new project detailed in this document was opened in March 2014 consisting of the 5.6km Inner West extension to the existing Lilyfield to Central Light Rail line (total length now 12.8km). Planning approval has now been granted to construct the $1.6 billion 12km long CBD and South East Light Rail (CSELR). In June 2014, the NSW Government committed $400 million to the commencement of a Western Sydney Light Rail, centred on Parramatta. Light rail projects are also proposed in Newcastle and in Canberra. Figure 2 - Current and Proposed Sydney Light Rail Network 2 Figure 3 – Potential Parramatta-based Light Rail Alignment Options (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/parramatta/extensive-light-rail- system-will-transform-transport-in-western-sydney/story-fngr8huy-1226958390644) The light rail projects are promoted as providing improved reliability of service and capacity to the denser urban areas that they serve.
