289 - CBD SOUTH EAST LIGHT RAIL LINE

Hoenig, Ron to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure

Will the Minister ensure that meaningful discussions take place with Randwick City Council to effect an alternative location of the CBD South East Light Rail Line from the northern side of Alison Road at Kensington in order to preserve Centennial Park land and the significant historical trees that would otherwise have to be removed?
Answer -

I am advised:

The revised location of the light rail route in this area improves access for customers living north of Alison Road and those travelling to and from local educational facilities and Centennial Park. It prioritises 'every day access' to the area ahead of casual event access, and ensures the flood levee bank in Centennial Park is not compromised.

These improvements were publicly exhibited in December 2014, along with a number of modifications to the original project design. The Department of Planning and Environment approved all modifications in February 2015.

Transport for NSW is continuing to work with Randwick City Council and stakeholders as detailed design of the project continues.
