CSELR is a $1.6bn light rail line from Circular Quay to Kingsford and Randwick through Surry Hills. It will include major interchanges at ferry, rail and bus stations along the route, and pedestrianisation of a 1km section of George Street.

Subject to planning approval, early works construction will begin later this year, with the project expected to be completed by 2020.
