Randwick Mayor Ted Seng has today welcomed the NSW Government's release of the construction schedule for the Sydney CBD and South East Light Rail project.

Construction will start in Randwick on Alison Road beside the Centennial Parklands in January 2016 while construction of the Kingsford branch line on Anzac Parade will start in February 2016.

Work in High Street Randwick will occur between November 2016 and July 2017 while construction of both the terminals at Randwick and Kingsford is scheduled towards the end of the timeline in 2017.

Randwick Mayor Ted Seng said:

"Release of the construction timetable will help our community and business plan for the future and manage the impact of works.

"Council staff received the schedule this morning and we are currently working through the details.

"Light rail will provide much-needed improved transport for the south-east and will transform our City for the better.

"We know the construction will cause substantial impacts and now with the release of the schedule we can better plan how to minimise inconvenience to residents, businesses and motorists and implement our Light Rail Community Support Plan," Mayor Seng said.
