1. OVERVIEW1.1.1 Purpose of the StudyParramatta City Council (Council) proposes a Western Sydney Light Rail Network centred on Parramattaand covering the central area of Sydney (Parramatta City Council, 2012). The network stretches fromMacquarie Park and Strathfield in the east to Rouse Hill in the north, Bankstown and Liverpool in the southand Wetherill Park and Blacktown in the west (Figure 1.1).The proposed light rail network will link key activity centres in the region and will be seamlessly integratedinto the existing public transport network.The Western Sydney Light Rail Network is not just about providing more public transport – but aboutfundamentally changing the way Western Sydney lives, works, and accesses recreation and culture –transforming the city by unlocking the economic potential of the region.The primary reason for proposing the regional light rail network is to change the shape of the region from aSydney CBD-centric focus towards a ‘city of cities’ model. This city building initiative aims to deliver improvedregional public transport which drives employment and facilitates residential growth along corridors and incentres in a sustainable city form – improving economic productivity and the liveability of Western Sydney forpeople. This proposed increase in public transport accessibility will also begin to tackle existing socialdisadvantage by increasing access to the growing range of educational and employment opportunities in theregion.Figure 1.1Council’s proposed Western Sydney Light Rail NetworkParramatta City Council Western Sydney Light Rail Network - Part 1 Feasibility Report 1
