$3.1bn over four years for Sydney Gateway project construction, and preconstruction on the M6 Stage 1 Extension
$3bn to increase train services
$1.2bn for bus services throughout NSW
$1bn for construction of the WestConnex Motorway. This included the delivery of the final stage of the project, the M4-M5 link tunnels and Rozelle Interchange
$520m for cycling and walking infrastructure
An additional $140m to add to the $648m already allocated for accessibility upgrades to train stations and ferry wharves.
Andrew Constance, NSW’s transport and roads minister, said: “Game changing projects such as Sydney Metro, Parramatta Light Rail and WestConnex are creating jobs and delivering economic benefits to local communities.
“By 2024, Sydney will have 31 metro stations and a 66km standalone metro railway system, revolutionising the way our city travels.”
