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.
