Road upgrades planned for Lidcombe

Final plans have been announced to support the development of new transport infrastructure in Lidcombe.

Minister for Planning, Rob Stokes, made the announcement today for one of NSW’s largest urban renewal projects.

“We want to create a vibrant new community in with the houses, infrastructure and the public facilities people want,” Stokes said.

“The NSW government is committed to delivering new homes with transport, schools and greenspace to create places where people want to live.”

Stokes said the new Carter Street precinct at Lidcombe will transform the industrial area into a new community to accommodate for about 5,500 homes.

The location should also contain space for corporate offices, a new primary school and foreshore reserve.  

Minister for Roads, Duncan Gay, said access to the suburb will include a westbound off-ramp from the M4 at Hill Road.

“Directly connecting Carter Street and Wentworth Point precincts to the M4 provides an alternative route taking pressure off the notoriously congested Australia Avenue and Homebush Bay Drive interchange,” Gay said.

“Along with the G-Loop and the eastbound M4 on-ramp, being delivered under WestConnex, this completes the trifecta of road upgrades for the Homebush area.”

NSW government funding of $140 million has been secured for the M4 westbound off-ramp.
