Geotechnical works on the preferred route for Newcastle’s light rail project will begin this Saturday.
The state Minister for Transport, Gladys Berejiklian, made the announcement this morning during a visit to the Hunter.
Ms Berejiklian also confirmed detailed environmental studies will be undertaken by local companies GHD and RPS Manidis Roberts.
They’ll conduct technical studies, field investigations and community consultation to determine potential impacts of the project.
The state government is set to cut the city’s heavy rail line on Boxing Day, which will make way for the light rail component.
