A great night for CONTEXT, COX Architecture, Transport for NSW, and the CPB / Downer JV at the 2025 Australian Good Design Awards, celebrating alongside so many inspiring designers and innovators across Australia’s creative industries.
We’re thrilled that Parramatta Light Rail – Stage 1 received the Australian Good Design Award Gold Winner accolade in the Built Environment category
The Good Design Australia jury commended the project:
“Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1 is a city-shaping transport and public domain project in Western Sydney. A timeless, rigorous urban design project, that will clearly benefit its community for the long term.
The subtlety of ground treatment, integration of track and lawn, planting and hardscape broadens the application of light rail in the Australian context, supporting the perception of the low impact, embedded nature of this transport mode.
The Jury commends the commitment to greening and working in collaboration with local First Nations communities. A powerful example of world-class design.”
Thank you to the wider team, including: WSP, Aurecon, HL Landscapes and City of Parramatta.
