Transport for NSW has announced that it is inviting registrations of interest for companies to design and construct the line, which will run from Wickham to Pacific Park.
Transport for NSW said the NSW government was committed to delivering a new light rail network for the region, with construction expected to start later this year.
"We’re now calling on qualified organisations to register their interest for the design and construction tender for light rail. From here we’ll develop a shortlist and expect to award a formal tender by the middle of the year," said a Transport for NSW spokesperson. "This is an important step in the project to make sure the best people are on the ground to get on with the job.
The registrations of interest period is expected to close on 12 February 2016. The NSW government will prepare a shortlist of respondents who will then be invited to tender. The contract is expected to be awarded in mid-2016.
