The light rail strategic plan will assess the benefits and costs of expanding the existing light rail network along three key corridors, through the central business district, to the University of New South Wales and to the University of Sydney. It will provide the basis for decisions about the future of light rail in the city.
The scope of the 12-month work is to assess and prioritise multiple options for possible routes leading to the identification of preferred routes within the three corridors.
Project development will involve detailed scoping and project definition, assessment of benefits and cost and validation of the business case sufficiently to enable a decision to be made to proceed to project delivery.
Turner & Townsend’s cost projections will be used to underpin the work. The projections will include a quantitative risk assessment, cash flow forecasts and an assessment of escalation over the expected duration of the project.
