The revitalisation of Parramatta’s ‘Eat Street’ is well underway with the first tracks laid for Parramatta Light Rail in the dining precinct.
Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said major light rail construction on Church Street is being fast-tracked for completion in mid-2021.
“Construction crews are working a combined 8,500 hours a day right across the whole 12-kilometre alignment to deliver this project as quickly as possible, so everyone can enjoy the benefits,” he said.
A celebration is planned for August ahead of installation of light rail stops, and network testing and commissioning. For more information on the project - which will connect Westmead to Carlingford – go to www.parramattalightrail.nsw.gov.au.
Meanwhile, a new warehouse and distribution hub in Kemps Creek neighbouring the Western Sydney aerotropolis will secure up to 1,650 new jobs and $242 million in economic investment for the state.
The approved new Kemps Creek Warehouse, Logistics and Industrial Facilities Hub will create 700 construction jobs and 950 operational jobs to support major global retailers, e-commerce providers, health and pharmaceutical companies, warehousing and logistics operators, light manufacturing and data centres.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said creating jobs and boosting business is a priority for the NSW Government.
“This is just another example proving that COVID-19 won’t stop NSW from growing stronger, and the Hub also supports our plan to foster new sources of growth, jobs and investment in Western Sydney,” he said.
Construction will begin this year with the first building to be completed within 12 months.
