Today is my last day with Transport for NSW, and what a journey it’s been over the last 7 years! Delivering mega projects is tough, and there have been many challenges along the way. I’m so proud to have been part of the team that delivered Sydney Metro, and as a daily user of the service, it really is a game changer for Sydney. To then be given the opportunity to lead the Parramatta Light Rail project from construction to completion has been incredible; what a way to finish 2024! To those that trusted and believed in me, thank you for the opportunities, counsel and mentorship: Hugh Lawson, Tim Parker, Daniel Powrie, Anand Thomas, Glen Mace, Camilla Drover B Eng MAICD, Howard Collins, OBE, Josh Murray. To the PLR family, you have been the most dedicated and professional team I have ever worked with, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all kicking goals on stage 2! To the people I would always want beside me in the trenches: Stephen Allday, Gabriel Gonzalez, Mark Taylor, Stuart Tweedie, Gareth Miles Harrison, Kate Ford, Adam Paterson, Mike Polich, Angela Farrell, Margaret Campbell, Susan Bentley, Louise. I know we will all cross project paths again in the future! Next up for me, a short break with my family and then on to an amazing new adventure in Austin, Texas. 2025 is going to be another epic year!

I can finally answer my most asked question of the year: “When is Parramatta Light Rail opening?” 🚋 Ding Ding! I’m excited to announce that Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 will open its doors to passengers this Friday, 20th December. Having led this project since 2021, it has been quite a journey, particularly as we reached the pointy end of delivery this year. We have faced many challenges and setbacks along the way, but I’m proud of my amazing team for their determination and resilience in getting Parramatta Light Rail across the line and delivered in time for Christmas! Of course, a big thank you to our delivery partners at Great River City Light Rail and teams across Transport for NSW for getting us ready to deliver a safe and reliable light rail service for the people of Parramatta. I cannot wait to jump onboard on Friday with the team and community!

The Parramatta Light Rail is entering the final stage of testing, with trial running starting from Monday 8 July.   This is a major milestone for our project team and delivery partner, Great River City Light Rail, as we move into this crucial stage of testing before passenger services can begin.   The new service has been officially named the L4, joining the broader Sydney Light Rail network - L1 Dulwich Hill Line, L2 Randwick Line and L3 Kingsford Line. Remember to stay safe, look out and listen for Trams!

Testing and commissioning on the Parramatta Light Rail has passed the halfway mark!   We are now seeing up to eight trams being tested in both directions between Westmead and Carlingford, seven days a week.   Great effort across the project team and future operator Great River City Light Rail as we work towards the start of first passenger services in the coming months.
