Key Staff
The Epping to Chatswood Rail Link, formerly known as the Parramatta Rail Link, is part of the NSW Government’s rail expansion program. Providing the critical connection from the main north line to the north shore line, this rail link will deliver network wide benefits. The $1 billion piece of infrastructure is partly in tunnel in order not to affect the sensitive Lane Cove River National Park.
The link took ten years to plan, design and build and involved complex issues, approvals and decision making. It also affects many thousands of residences and businesses between Epping and Chatswood.
Key achievements included
- Completing the strategic environmental assessment that confirmed the original project scope.
- Facilitating inter-agency workshops to agree on station facilities and surrounding networks.
- Evaluating route and service options between Parramatta and Chatswood.
