WestConnex – Community consultation on M4 East

WestConnex, which will be featured at our October Business Lunch, is progressing forward.

The 33 kilometre WestConnex project is the largest integrated transport and urban revitalisation project in Australia.

With the project progressing forward, most recently the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the M4 East, the first underground section of WestConnex, was released for public comment until 23 October 2015.

The M4 East will connect to a widened M4 at Homebush and extend underground in twin tunnels (three lanes in each direction) for 5.5 kilometres, emerging near the Bunnings Warehouse on Parramatta Road or on Wattle Street at Haberfield.

The EIS shows that in 2021 traffic volumes on sections of Parramatta Road are expected to be cut by up to 53 per cent as a result of WestConnex.  An independent air quality assessment detailed in the EIS also found air quality will generally improve along the Parramatta Road corridor.

Don’t miss the Property Council’s NSW October Business Lunch on 2 October 2015 which will provide a fresh insight into WestConnex and the myriad of flow on opportunities that will stem from the urban renewal of Parramatta Road.
