Light rail platforms from Carlingford to Camellia ready for fit out

The team used around 1500m³ of concrete and 25,000 concrete pavers in this stage of work, which involved the construction of stop platforms, steps, railings, retaining walls, footpaths, kerbing, and access ramps.

Working closely with a heritage architecture specialist as well as archaeologists, the project team carefully ensured the heritage-listed station building at Dundas, which first opened in 1896, as well as its remaining section of heritage-significant platform, were preserved, protected, and integrated into the new light rail stop design.

Protective initiatives included the establishment of an exclusion zone around the building to separate it from nearby construction work, as well as monitoring the vibration impacts of the work.

With the completion of the stop platforms in this area, the community will begin to see the team's vision for the Parramatta Light Rail taking shape.

The next stage of work will see the team finalise work along the Carlingford to Camellia corridor, including the fit out of the light rail stops, and installation of substations, overhead wiring, and underground cabling.

Special thanks to the local community, particularly the residents and businesses, for their patience and support during the construction of the Parramatta Light Rail.
