To link Randwick to the City by light rail needs community support.
Randwick City Council, the University of NSW and the Australian Turf Club are leading the way and support light rail transport as a matter of priority.They are co-funding a pre-feasibility study into light rail to examine potential routes, preliminary costings, financial viability and patronage.
