Construcciones Yamaro: NSW Government announces funding boost for critical infrastructure

By

The NSW Government is investing $40.9 million to fast-track critical infrastructure projects for communities in Greater Sydney and the Central Coast, where around 18,000 new homes are expected to be built in the next three years.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said the state is getting on with the job of delivering infrastructure to go alongside the new housing. “The projects will help ensure these growing suburbs get the infrastructure they need and deserve,” he said. “It is an important step, but we know our work to enable housing supply does not stop here.”

“We are making progress, but this is a big task with a lot more work to do.”

The City of Parramatta, Central Coast Council, City of Ryde, The Hills Shire Council and Transport for NSW will be responsible for delivering the projects, with construction planned to start from this month.

By fast-tracking these projects, the NSW Government aims to ensure the large number of new homes planned will have the infrastructure needed in time for the arrival of residents.

The fast-track infrastructure project funding includes $13.5 million for road intersection improvements at McEvoy Street and Botany Road in Waterloo, which Member for Heffron Ron Hoenig said will help to ease traffic gridlock that is already taking a toll on Waterloo and Alexandria as a result of WestConnex.

“We need to future-proof this intersection in order to get more housing supply where it makes sense,” Hoenig added.

The funding also includes $10.6 million for a pedestrian link through Parramatta CBD, linking Parramatta Square to Powerhouse Parramatta and the foreshore. Member for Parramatta Donna Davis said the link will provide pedestrian access from the river to four forms of public transport in the CBD.

Additionally, the funding includes $6 million to expedite construction of the Colongra Sporting Complex on the Central Coast, a project that Member for Swansea Yasmin Catley said will be a gamechanger for the community.

“This facility will give local clubs a permanent home and provide local schools and the public with access to sporting fields, courts and greenspace,” Catley added.

Also part of the fast-track funding, the NSW Government is investing $8.2 million for a bridge over the Killarney Chain of Ponds at Box Hill, and $2.6 million for the installation of traffic lights at the junction of Parkes Street at Ryde.

All projects are expected to be delivered by mid-2026.
