We have opened Stage One of our Richmond Road upgrade one month early and $7 million under budget.

Richmond Road is a key arterial road for Sydney’s North West Growth Centre. We have fast tracked the upgrade because of its importance to supporting new housing and job creation in Western Sydney.

Stage One provides two lanes in each direction and will slash travel times for Western Sydney motorists travelling on Richmond Road between Bells Creek and north of Townson Road at Marsden Park.
We have allocated $96 million for Stage Two of the upgrade which began this week and is expected to be progressively opened to traffic by the end of 2016.

Construction will begin next month on a 340-space multi-storey commuter car park at Sutherland Station.

The free and untimed commuter parking spaces are part of more than $30 million worth of upgrades at the station, which also include a new lift and recently completed interchange upgrade.

Sutherland is a key interchange station for locals and commuters in the Illawarra, and these works will go a long way to help customers connect and move easily between different transport modes.

St George and Sutherland have been big winners under our Transport Access Program, with upgrades underway along the Illawarra Line. A major station upgrade is underway at Waterfall Station, with another huge upgrade announced at Oatley and Arncliffe and a commuter car park extension underway at Rockdale.

In the next fortnight, we will open to motorists commuting eastbound a third lane for a stretch of four kilometres from the Camden Valley Way eastbound entry ramp to the Georges River Bridge, Liverpool.

Shortly after, we will open an additional lane westbound, which will extend from Georges River Bridge in Liverpool to the Beech Road exit.

NSW Premier Mike Baird officially opened the new Penrith one stop shop this week, whilst marking the one-year anniversary of the NSW Government’s new customer service agency, Service NSW. 

The opening of this centre also marks an important milestone with the completion of the initial Service NSW rollout – a total of 18 one-stop shops. 

Due to the success of Service NSW, we will expand its services over the next two years with a focus on increasing digital transactions to make it even more convenient for customers to do their business with us. 

This service centre is the third to open in Western Sydney – following Parramatta and Liverpool and demonstrates our commitment to grow services in this thriving region. 

Eight new service centres, including one in Blacktown, are now being planned for opening in the coming months with other innovative smart stores and kiosks to be trialled over the coming year. 

More than 3.5 million customers have so far been served by Service NSW with a customer satisfaction score of 98 per cent – unchanged since launch last year.
