Sydney\u2019s south west commuters will benefit from around 3,300 additional commuter car parking spaces as the NSW Government continues to bolster the public transport network.
\u00a0
Today the Minister for Transport and Veterans David Elliott cut the ribbon on the State\u2019s newest congestion busting project in Edmondson Park North, as planning is\u00a0 finalised on yet another project in this fast growing community.
\u00a0
The new Edmondson Park South car park boasts more than 1,250 extra parking spaces, and the Edmondson Park North project will deliver up to 700 additional spaces.
\u00a0
\u201cOur Government recognizes that this is Sydney\u2019s fastest growing region, and we\u2019re delivering projects which will serve the community for years to come,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\u00a0
\u201cWe have a world class public transport network, and significant investments like the ones we\u2019ve made into commuter car parks makes catching public transport more convenient and attractive to the community.\u201d
\u00a0
Member for Holsworthy Melanie Gibbons said delivering on this 2019 election commitment will encourage more locals in the community to use public transport.
\u00a0
\u201cThis project has bolstered our public transport network and has also created more than 900 jobs throughout the construction of this much needed local amenity,\u201d Ms Gibbons said.

\u201cIt\u2019s truly world class, built with recycled materials, it has 1,500 solar panels and 10 electric vehicle charging stations.
