Canberra’s light rail network is better connecting Canberra to meet the city’s growing transport needs. Light Rail to Woden builds on the success of Stage 1 (Gungahlin to City) and will form the network's north-south spine, connecting Canberra's southside with the city and on to Gungahlin.
Light Rail to Woden is being built in two stages. City to Commonwealth Park (Stage 2A) is under construction. Commonwealth Park to Woden (Stage 2B) is progressing through design, planning and approvals work.
The first section of Light Rail to Woden will deliver a convenient new transport option from Alinga Street to Commonwealth Park to provide a better connection between the city and the lake. Three new stops will extend the light rail network by 1.7 kilometres along a raised London Circuit to enhance the amenity and connectivity of the city. Stage 2A is jointly funded by the ACT Government and the Australian Government.
The ACT Government is progressing design, planning and approvals work on Commonwealth Park to Woden (Stage 2B).
Extending light rail further south would give more people more transport options, help reduce traffic congestion and support Canberra’s transition to a zero emissions future.
Stage 2B is the most complex section of the proposed light rail network. Stage 2B is proposed to deliver nine new stops.
Light rail vehicles would need to cross Lake Burley Griffin via a new bridge constructed between the existing Commonwealth Avenue bridges, travel through the National Triangle and along Adelaide Avenue and Yarra Glen. This complex project requires several Australian Government and Territory environmental and planning approvals.
The draft EIS for Stage 2B is now on public exhibition. During this time communities and stakeholders can view the EIS and make a submission.
