Parramatta. Premier urged to press ahead

Parramatta City Council has requested Premier, Kristina Keneally, to implement the transport blueprint, which was to be announced by her predecessor, Nathan Rees, as it was vital to the growth of Parramatta and Western Sydney. “Planning and initial works for the Sydney Metro project have already commenced and council has been looking forward to the announcement of funding for the West Metro, an underground rail network linking Westmead to the CBD and inner west. This 24km West Metro line is vital to Parramatta’s growth and will act as a gateway to Australia’s third largest economy, Western Sydney,” Lord Mayor, Paul Garrard, said.
