Arup, in association with HASSELL and Aurecon, have been selected for the engineering, light rail systems and urban design technical advisor roles for the recently announced Sydney Light Rail Strategic Plan.

Drawing on international expertise and best practice, the team will work with Transport for NSW and local stakeholders to achieve the strategic vision of the project and provide further, sustainable transport options for Sydney.

The Sydney Light Rail Strategic Plan is being developed by government to guide the potential future expansions of the light rail network. The plan will initiate lasting transformation of the physical, economic and social fabric of Sydney.

It will contribute to achieving the goals set out within the NSW Government’s NSW 2021, a 10 year plan to rebuild the economy, return quality services, invest in infrastructure and strengthen local environment and communities.
