Light Rail is coming to Woden – the draft plans are open for comment

The draft plans for the light rail stage 2B to Woden are now visible in the project’s  “Draft Environmental Impact Statement”.

This document is long. You can see a paper copy at the Woden library. If you want to browse the plans online go to https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/light-rail-to-woden

There is a face to face consultation with project team in the library on Thursday 14 August, 3 pm–7 pm, and another on Sunday 17 August, 11 am–2 pm at the Presbyterian Church of St Andrew.

The Woden Valley Community Council will hold an information forum at the Woden library 7pm Thursday 21 August. See http://wvcc.org.au

Members can see a long commentary opinion in the recent CRA newsletter. The big changes around Curtin are a tram stop under the Carruthers St bridge, another beside the Yarralumla Creek near Phillip Oval, and total remodelling of the big Woden roundabout at Yarra Glen-Melrose Drive-Yamba Drive. Construction is expected to start in 2029 and take 4 to 5 years.
