Delivery Agency:
Transport for NSW (TNSW)
Project Description:
A central element of delivering Sydney’s Light Rail Future is the City and South East Light Rail. This new light rail line will extend from Circular Quay along George Street to Central Station to Moore Park, then to Kingsford via Anzac Parade and Randwick via Alison Road and High Street.
This route was selected by NSW Government following extensive feasibility investigations and consultation with key stakeholders. Transport for NSW is now progressing delivery of the CSELR extensions in consultation with councils, business, industry and the community.
The CSELR will be delivered via two major contracts:
- A limited Early Works package, to be delivered as a Managing Contract; and
- Main Works package, to be delivered as a PPP
The Early Works include selected upfront activities, adjustments to utilities and other works and was awarded to Laing O'Rourke Construction Australia in June 2014.
The Main Works PPP will cover design, construction, services relocations, operation and maintenance of the 12-kilometre project, as well as the operation and maintenance of the Inner West Light Rail network.
The PPP will be provided through availability payments to the PPP private sector partner on meeting certain performance targets. The Main Works PPP was awarded to the ALTRAC Light Rail consortium.
Since mid-2015, ALTRAC Light Rail also operates and maintains the existing light rail network, which operates from Central to Lilyfield and through the inner west to Dulwich Hill.
