  • Installation of New and Extended Clearways on Windsor Road And
    Installation of new and extended clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street from Baulkham Hills to Parramatta Roads and Maritime Services | January 2018 The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its $121 million Clearways Program, which aims to reduce congestion and delays on Sydney’s roads. Roads and Maritime Services is installing new Clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street, Baulkham weekend and extended weekday clearways on Hills to Parramatta Windsor Road and Church Street from Old Northern Road, Baulkham Hills to Victoria Road, Parramatta in February 2018. We have included a map to show the location of the new clearways. Changes to the clearways will be operational from Monday 26 February 2018. Any vehicles parked in the clearways on or after these dates will risk being fined and towed. The new weekend and extended weekday clearway hours on Windsor Road are shown on the map. The new clearways will replace the existing ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions on Church Street, between James Ruse Drive and Victoria Road, and the existing bus lanes on Church Street will continue to operate with no changes. What is a clearway? A clearway is a section of road where stopping and parking is not allowed during the times shown on the clearway sign. Clearways are put on key arterial roads where traffic is often heavy and congested. They help keep vehicles moving by making all lanes available to motorists. The only exception is the stopping of buses and taxis dropping off or picking up passengers as well as emergency vehicles.

  • Shelter NSW Submission Rapid Assessment Framework NSW Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment Date 12.2.2021
    Shelter NSW Submission Rapid Assessment Framework NSW Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment Date 12.2.2021 Introduction Shelter NSW appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment (DPIE), proposed Rapid Assessment Framework. Shelter NSW supports the Government’s objective to provide clear guidance and increase the efficiency and transparency of the assessment process for a major project while also improving community engagement standards. Shelter NSW’s submission responds to the growing demand for the NSW planning system to deliver on its promise of a more equitable city, and this includes the capacity to deliver affordable rental housing in one of the most expensive housing markets in the world. An objective of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (d) is to promote the delivery and maintenance of affordable housing. However, there is a growing acknowledgment that a key barrier in meeting this objective and addressing both housing need and affordability is the expanding complexities of the planning system, various legislation, policy and public authorities. Shelter NSW has provided feedback on the proposed changes and associated documentation in the Rapid Assessment Framework package. This feedback is informed by Shelter NSW's involvement with community organisations who are engaged with several ‘State Significant Development’ (SSD) housing projects and associated community engagement initiatives which do not support the delivery of an equitable and sustainable city. We hope these insights help the Government in meeting its overall goals, while also addressing some of the current system failures. About Shelter NSW Shelter NSW has operated since 1975 as the NSW State peak housing policy and advocacy body.

The description needs to provide a concise, but clear description of the initiative’s scope. (approx 3 paragraphs) A motorway connection, mainly in tunnel, from the eastern end of the Western Freeway (M4) at North Strathfield to the western outskirts of the Sydney CBD and the road network near Sydney Airport. It would link M4 to the eastern section of the Sydney Orbital via the Cross City Tunnel and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The eastern section of the M4 (east of Parramatta) would be widened/upgraded. A twin tube tunnel is proposed from North Strathfield to just south of Campbell Road at St Peters with connections to the City West Link at Lilyfield/Rozelle and Parramatta Road/Broadway at Glebe/ Chippendale. A bus only connection at Parramatta Road, Haberfield is also possible. A further tunnel is proposed to connect Victoria Road near Gladesville Bridge to the main tunnel in the Leichhardt area. There is a proposed surface motorway link from just south of Campbell Road to the road network around Sydney Airport probably connecting to Canal Road and Qantas Drive (the latter subject to M5 East Expansion planning and Sydney Airport Corp Ltd agreement) with a potential link to M5 at Arncliffe.
