North Construction helping to revitalise Newcastle
Construction of the Newcastle Light Rail Depot building, at Wickham, and six stops along the rail’s 2.7 km length sees Downer and North Construction & Building work in conjunction to deliver a key part of the NSW Government’s Revitalising Newcastle program to the local community.
Stops are under construction at Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle (near Hunter Street TAFE), Civic, Crown Street, Market Street and Pacific Park. The project will have the capacity to transport 1,200 people per hour with services running every 7.5 minutes during peak times.
