NSW Gov release plans for future road and rail corridors

The NSW Government is inviting stakeholders to have their say on the final stage of project, following the release of Environmental Impact Statement for the M4-M5 Link this week.

Draft corridors for four major future road and rail infrastructure corridors have been released by the NSW Government to help establish the Western Sydney Parkland City.

Transport for NSW is seeking feedback by Friday 18 May 2018 to refine the corridors and inform technical investigations. Draft corridors for four major future road and rail infrastructure corridors have been released by the NSW Government to help establish the Western Sydney Parkland City.

The links aim to improve access for freight and logistics companies, and connect to the future Western Sydney Aerotropolis, an urban centre next to the airport. It plans to bring advanced manufacturing, research, medical, education and commercial facilities and investment to attract high value jobs to the region.

The four corridors are:

  • the north-south rail corridor, which will connect Western Sydney Airport with the existing Sydney train network
  • the Outer Sydney Orbital road and rail freight corridor
  • a Western Sydney freight connection
  • a new road connection from the M7 to the Bells Line of Road.

Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Western Sydney is at the forefront of the biggest infrastructure delivery program in history.

“The release of these corridors marks one of the first steps in delivery of the City Deal which will realise the aspiration of a 30-minute city for Western Sydney, bringing people closer to jobs, education and homes and improve access for freight and logistics vehicles.”
