Empowering a diverse workforce
The delivery of this project saw record numbers of employment and training opportunities for diverse groups, including women in non-traditional roles, First Nations people, apprentices, and disadvantaged workers.
Historical and cultural preservation
The project integrated Parramatta’s rich history and culture into the alignment design and enhanced urban spaces with grass tracks and wire-free areas.

The project’s holistic approach to sustainability incorporated innovative construction solutions such as rough building with macro synthetic fibres and an enhanced rail boot system.
The judges also commended the project’s comprehensive approach to achieving sustainable outcomes in construction:
“Good workforce outcomes and support of social enterprises and Aboriginal businesses. A strong project overall and application that covers environmental, economic and social aspects well.”
