Region. WSROC is 'disappointed'

The Western Sydney Regional organisation of Councils (WSROC) is “disappointed’” that of the $8.5 billion allocated in the budget to be spent on road and rail projects barely 1 per cent, or $91 million, will go towards detailed design work for the Sydney West Metro, leaving nothing for the crucial infrastructure projects needed to support the continuing substantial growth in North-West and South-West Sydney. The future viability of Sydney’s overall rail and transport networks relies on substantial rail expansion projects in these areas, WSROC said.
