Olympic Corridor part 4: renewal area map released by NSW Planning

The NSW Department of Planning placeholder (mentioned in Part 2 of this blog) finally has a link.

On it is a map showing Parramatta joined to the Olympic peninsular and to Rhodes in a dashed line.  Interestingly, the dashed line goes up to Rydalmere and Dundas and then ends there, and also the dashed line includes Strathfield train station.  What's missing?  Some precincts being renewed as part of UrbanGrowth's New Parramatta Road project.

The combination of Parramatta to the Olympic corridor within one dashed renewal area that also includes Westmead is all pointing towards the rumoured Parramatta-Olympic-Strathfield light rail route, with an extension west to Westmead via Cumberland hospital grounds and also a spur line running to Rhodes/Wentworth Point and also another spur line running along the Carlingford heavy rail corridor, likely ending at Carlingford.
