Infrastructure with love: Parramatta Light Rail spot in Westmead

“Infrastructure with love” is how one government minister has described taking a portion of land in Westmead for the Parramatta Light Rail.

Parramatta Mission’s accommodation for families with sick children is located on the corner of Hawkesbury Rd and Hainsworth St, a corner the government needs for the light rail to turn safely when the first trains are operating in 2023.

Parramatta Mission's Wesley Apartments at Westmead will go to make way for Parramatta Light Rail.


When light rail construction is complete, the property, minus the section needed for the light rail will be returned to Parramatta Mission to rebuild new apartments on the site. They will double the accommodation they currently have available.

In the meantime, a space at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead will be redeveloped for accommodation.
