  • NSW Budget- $108 Million Bus Boost
    Andrew Constance Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Gladys Berejiklian Treasurer Minister for Industrial Relations MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday, 14 June 2016 NSW BUDGET: $108 MILLION BUS BOOST Double decker buses will serve some of Sydney’s busiest routes, and around 3,800 extra weekly services will be added as part of a $108 million investment in new buses in the 2016- 17 NSW Budget, Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance and Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian announced today. The 80 seat double deckers can carry 65 per cent more capacity than normal size buses, and will be used on key corridors including the busy Rouse Hill-City service (route 607X), between Blacktown and Macquarie Park (route 611), and for the first time, the Liverpool- Parramatta Transitway (route T80). “Thousands of Sydneysiders rely on bus travel every day to get from A to B and we know demand for services is continually increasing, particularly in growth centres in the North West and South West, as well as in inner city areas like Green Square,” Mr Constance said. “This is all about staying ahead of the curve to ensure customers have sufficient levels of service well into the future. “Since coming to office, the NSW Government has delivered more than 15,800 extra weekly public transport services for customers and today’s announcement is further proof that we’re committed to putting on even more where and when they’re needed most.” Ms Berejiklian said the Government would continue to fund more services and infrastructure in the upcoming Budget. “These double decker buses have allowed us to deliver good customer outcomes and we are pleased to be rolling out more of them across Sydney,” the Treasurer said.

Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) proposes to carry out road works to enhance road network connectivity to the proposed Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest in Sydney, and to provide broader network enhancements in the area. The works are to be known as the Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project (the project). The project aims to: Assist in the management of journeys in connection with anticipated future intensification of land uses surrounding the new hospital. Mitigate the worsening of traffic congestion on the Warringah Road and Wakehurst Parkway and their principal feeder roads. Enhance access arrangements by car, bus and active transport for the Northern Beaches Hospital employees, patients, outpatients and visitors. Mitigate intersection delays to facilitate improved access to the Northern Beaches Hospital and surrounding employment precincts. Have key infrastructure components in place for the hospital opening in 2018. The project would be carried out generally within the following parts of Frenchs Forest: Warringah Road from its intersection with Maxwell Parade to its intersection with Courtley Road.
