The final NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan has been released by the Minister for Transport, Gladys Berejiklian and Minister for Roads and Ports, Duncan Gay.
The ministers said the master plan “brings together all types of transport across all regions of the state into an integrated, modern system that puts the customer first. The master plan sets a clear direction for transport in NSW for the next 20 years.
“The Master Plan is the result of extensive consultation with the people of NSW, experts, the community and our customers. I would like to thank the individuals and organisations that have made comments throughout the development of the master plan.
“We have already begun to implement the master plan, getting on with the job of delivering critical projects and initiatives. A number of actions identified in the master plan are well under way including the Opal card trial, North West Rail Link, South West Rail Link, Northern Sydney Freight Corridor, Pacific and Princes Highways, WestConnex, Bridges for the Bush, and CBD and South East Light Rail. Detailed planning has also commenced on others including second harbour crossing and precinct improvement plan for Port Botany and Sydney Airport.
