Earlier this month, Randwick City Council announced the members of our newly established Community Light Rail Support Plan Committee.

The Committee will provide an additional avenue of consultation and feedback to Council over the next five years on its Light Rail Support Plan. 

The light rail support plan proposes allocating funds in future draft budgets, subject to detailed community consultation, to build a multi-storey car park in Kingsford, claw back street parking removed because of the light rail (such as along Anzac Parade), upgrade drainage, create new urban plazas and develop better cycleway connections.

Council will also be conducting wider consultation with all affected residents, businesses and ratepayers and use our established consultation methods such as local Precincts, www.yoursay.randwick.nsw.gov.au and Council's social media channels.

The committee was formed following a recent Expression of Interest process requiring applicants to meet specific criteria. The committee members list is available from our website.

I would like to thank these members of the community for volunteering to be part of this committee and helping Council ensure the smooth integration of the light rail project.

Randwick City Council welcomes the introduction of light rail and commends the NSW Government on funding this project. The aim of our support plan is to enhance the light rail project and make sure our community gets the most out of this once in a generation opportunity to revitalise our City.
