6.3 Alignment 2b: Parramatta–Macquarie Park via EastwoodTable 6.3 summarises the results of the detailed assessment of the Parramatta–Macquarie Park alignmentvia Eastwood.Table 6.3Detailed assessment of the Parramatta–Macquarie Park via Eastwood alignmentParramatta–Macquarie Park via Eastwood alignment (13 km long with 14 stops)Land use• Connects to Parramatta and Macquarie Park (13,500 additional dwellings and 46,000 additional jobs). High riseresidential development is highly feasible in the short term for Parramatta and Macquarie Park centres.• Rydalmere, Dundas and Eastwood (500 additional dwellings and 300 additional jobs.• Along the route moderate corridor renewal in east, constrained in west and limited around centres. Excellentfeasibility for higher density residential in short term.• Long term growth in Rydalmere and Macquarie Park. Without public transport improvements limited renewal in theeast and around centres, and no renewal in the west.Social and health• Most of the route passes through areas with near median advantage however there are pockets of high need socialdisadvantage.• Provides access to six key educational, health and recreational facilities.• Density is low, but the route might provide opportunity for moderate benefits to community health and safety.Environment• Biodiversity - Several areas of impacted ecological communities. Brush Farm Park may be impacted. No listed floraor fauna species are within the corridor• Flooding - There are several areas that have been identified as flood prone. This is due to the location of thealignment to Parramatta River and other areas such as Ponds Creek, and Shrimptons Creek. This alignment has ahigh risk of flooding impacts.• Contaminated sites - one contaminated site on Victoria Road (service station).• Noise and air quality – Some sensitive receptors including education, nursing home and residential.Transport• Land use and transport modelling suggests strong patronage – 9,000 to 11,500 in morning peak 3.5 hours(4,500 to 5,750 in peak hour) at 2031. #• Route would qualify as ‘intermediate transit’ in the public transport hierarchy adopted in the NSW Long TermTransport Master Plan (LTTMP).• Most activity on this route is between Parramatta CBD and Rydalmere (see Figures 6.5 and 6.6). Modellingindicates strong demand at Eastwood and Macquarie Park.Economics• $915.0M capital and $19.0M operating costs per year.• Considered low risk of adverse community perception.#Potential trips generated by UWS are not included due to limitations on available data.Figures 6.5 and 6.6 show the boardings and alightings forecast from the land use and transport model for2031 for trips in the morning peak from Parramatta to Macquarie Park via light rail. The land useassumptions in these outputs are the population and employment by Travel Zone as estimated by theBureau of Transport Statistics. Similarly, boardings and alightings from UWS will likely increase whenadditional data are made available and included in future modelling.30 Parramatta City Council Western Sydney Light Rail Network - Part 1 Feasibility Report
