Region. Call to bring forward construction

Clr Alison McLaren, president of WSROC, has called on the NSW Government to bring forward the construction of Sydney’s South-West Rail Link, which was deferred in last November’s mini-budget. It is vital for the future of Western Sydney that this project is re-instated, and that it proceeds quickly”, she said. Clr McLaren pointed out that both the South-West and North-West projects were not only vital to the future of Western Sydney, but to Sydney as a whole. “The pressing challenge in the south-west is to support residential expansion that is about to take place. The infrastructure imperative in the north-west is to resolve a transport crisis that exists right now, and is getting worse day by day,” she said
