Light rail stop at Wimbo Park!
There is only one stop servicing the entirety of Surry Hills between Central Station and Moore Park, compared with eight stops in the CBD.
The City has upgraded the award-winning Wimbo Park and we’ve ensured the designs can seamlessly accommodate a stop.
So, now we just need the Government to commit to the original plan!
This stop was always intended to be added.
The former Minister for Transport, Andrew Constance, agreed to ensure the design of the light rail would enable a future stop to be provided at Wimbo Park. Transport for NSW has made assurances that conduits were installed, and the area was designed to enable quick construction of a stop. The City of Sydney designed the new park so that it can accommodate a stop.
This additional stop on the light rail route would be of benefit to residents in Redfern and Waterloo, as well as east Surry Hills, especially those with a disability, and to the teachers and students of Bourke Street Public School.
An additional stop would also improve pedestrian safety on Devonshire Street, especially given the high number of families and children walking in the area.
