972 - UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure
  1. Is the Government taking steps to improve public transport options for students and staff at the University of Newcastle?
    1. If so, what action is the Government taking to ease traffic congestion, improve transport times and ensure reliability of public transport at the University of Newcastle?
    2. If no action is being taken, why is this the case?
Answer -

I am advised:

The Government is committed to improving public transport in Newcastle and the Hunter region. The Government will deliver a modern and accessible transport interchange at Wickham and introduce light rail to Newcastle. Light rail will form part of an integrated transport solution for Newcastle.

Wickham Transport Interchange will enable customers to easily connect with trains, light rail, regional buses, taxis and cars.

Light rail will improve connections between the city centre and the waterfront, and better connect residents and visitors to Newcastle's beaches.

Planning and design of the light rail will consider the University's proposed new campus in the Civic precinct. Consultation on light rail is expected to occur later this year.
