The M12 Motorway is a step closer with the community invited to provide feedback on plans for the connection across Western Sydney.
\nMinister for Roads Andrew Constance said an Environmental Impact Statement for the new 16 kilometre motorway is on exhibition from today allowing locals to have their say on the project.
\n\u201cThe M12 will provide direct access to the new Western Sydney International Airport and connect to Sydney\u2019s motorway network,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\n\u201cThe M12 project will be delivered as part of both governments\u2019 $4.1 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan.\u201d
\nPlanning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the project demonstrates the NSW Government\u2019s commitment to creating well-connected communities.
\n\u201cThe new airport will boost investment and growth opportunities by better connecting Western Sydney to international businesses, students and tourists across the globe,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cWe are working with the Federal Government to ensure that road and transport infrastructure is in place, to better connect the region to the rest of Sydney before the first plane takes off.\u201d
\nThe M12 will provide a new motorway between the M7 and The Northern Road with two lanes in each direction and three major interchanges. A new off-road shared user path will provide better safety and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians.
\nA number of drop-in sessions will be held from Saturday 19 October until mid-November for the community to learn more about the proposed upgrades and provide feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
