Parramatta Road to Green Square Light Rail
New Housing and Housing Choice
Sydney is facing a housing availability crisis with its population predicted to grow to 6.1 million by 2041.
Light rail is proven to attract new housing investment. The Parramatta Road to Green Square line supports mixed use development, including social and affordable housing, all along the route.
Accessing Jobs and Education
Light rail makes it easy and convenient for people to get to work.
This new line will put hundreds of thousands within a 5 minute walk to a light rail stop. It will also make it easier for students to get to schools and universities.
Building Communities
Light rail helps build communities where people want to live, work and play.
The Parramatta to Green Square line will be a catalyst for new housing and retail plus all the economic benefits that entails. It will bring people back to the footpath and support the night‑time economy because people feel uniquely safe using light rail.
Sustainable
Light rail attracts people out of cars and onto public transport.
This is especially important as Sydney’s population grows. The all-electric Parramatta Road to Green Square line can play a key role in taking cars off Parramatta Road and significantly contribute to Sydney’s ‘net‑zero’ future.

Vehicle capacity – 450 people
