Interchange Options

The Newcastle CBD Renewal Taskforce says light rail along Hunter Street will improve connections to the city and support an integrated pedestrian and cyclist network.

The taskforce maintains installing light rail along the existing heavy rail corridor would lack such benefits, and using Hunter Street will highlight the city's heritage precinct.

Broadmeadow has been announced as the preferred option for an interchange, due to its existing infrastructure and regional growth projections.
