In the next 20 years, Sydney’s population will grow by around 1.6 million people… …and almost 1
million of them will be living in western Sydney. To help meet existing demand for transport and
services and to cater for the substantial growth ahead a number of major infrastructure projects are
already in planning or underway right now. This includes the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan, a
10 year $3.6 billion road investment program that will deliver major road projects to improve safety
and ease traffic congestion in the future. Funded by the Australian and NSW Governments, this Plan
is vital to increase transport capacity in western Sydney ahead of future traffic demand from: A
significant housing increase in the South West Priority Land Release Area and the Western Sydney
Priority Growth Are Thousands of new jobs being created in the Western Sydney Employment Area.
And the planned western Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek. Work has already started on the 61 km
of new and upgraded roads for the residents of western Sydney. This work includes: A 35 kilometer
upgrade of The Northern Road, which has been divided into six sections between: The Old Northern
Littlefields Road and Glenmore Parkway And Between Glenmore Parkway and Jamison Road A
major upgrade of Bringelly Road from Leppington to Bringelly; Upgrading existing roads between the
M4 Motorway and the Great Western Highway to form the Werrington Arterial Road; Upgrading the
Glenbrook Intersection to improve safety and access at the intersection of Ross Street and the Great
Western Highway And the M12 Motorway between The Northern Road and the M7 Motorway, To
provide direct access to the planned airport at Badgerys Creek and to support future development of
the area.Road, and Peter Brock Drive, Peter Brock Drive and Mersey Road, including the Bringelly
Road and The Northern Road Interchange. Mersey Road and Eaton Road Eaton Road and
Littlefields Road.As part of the Plan, the Australian Government is also investing $200 million in a
Local Roads Package – helping western Sydney councils deliver better road connections that
support our plans for the future. The Australian government has already provided $35 million in
funding to local councils as part of the first round of this Package with a further $62 million allocated
for eleven additional projects under the second round of funding. Some stages of the Plan are
already being built, while others are still under investigation and development By building and
upgrading key western Sydney major roads by the mid-20’s – ahead of the predicted one million
extra people, the Australian and NSW governments are supporting Sydney’s growth and the
development of a western Sydney airport by creating thousands of jobs for the region, and making
sure people are connected on a safe and reliable road network.
