Parramatta. West Metro pushed back

Treasury officials were pushing yesterday (February 17) for work to begin on the Western Metro as late as 2030, despite an original deadline on the CBD Metro to begin mid-year. Cabinet sources say while the Transport Minister, David Campbell, is pushing hard for the go-ahead for the Western Metro as soon as possible, Mr Roozendaal and Treasury are blocking it and are likely to succeed, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. ''It is a constant battle against Treasury,'' said a senior cabinet source.
