The purchase of biodiversity offset credits for the WSIP under the NSW BioBanking scheme is ongoing. In December 2017, we launched a public Expression of Interest (EOI) process whereby advertisements were placed in relevant newspapers asking interested landholders to contact the Roads and Maritime Office about creating biodiversity credits on their land for exclusive purchase by Roads and Maritime. In May 2017, approval was granted to purchase $13 million of biodiversity offset credits listed on the OEH Public Register. This tranche comprised about 12 per cent of the total biodiversity offset credit requirements for The Northern Road upgrade and M12. These credits compensate for the lost vegetation by protecting and managing biodiversity in one area in exchange for the impact created by a project. BioBanking allows ‘biodiversity credits’ to be generated by landowners and developers who agree to enhance and protect biodiversity values on their land through a BioBanking agreement. These credits can then be sold, generating funds for the management of the site.

The VR app includes proposed development of projects. We work collaboratively 360° images, 360° videos and an interactive map of the motorway. Google Cardboard devices will with residents, stakeholders, interest groups, be given away at the community consultation and pop-up events so stakeholders can download community representatives and councils to gain the app and experience VR on their own device (iPhone or Android) anytime. feedback and suggestions which helps to inform our planning and decision making. These opportunities occur at specific project milestones such as selecting new road corridor alignments or during the display of environmental assessments.

The $509 million Bringelly Road upgrade is being delivered in two stages to support the development of growth centres, employment and Western Sydney Airport. This 10 kilometre project includes upgrading Bringelly Road from two lanes to a six lane divided road between the Upper Canal bridge and Eastwood Road, through the future Leppington Town Centre. The rest of Bringelly Road will be upgraded from two lanes to a four lane divided road with a central median, allowing for widening to six lanes when required.

Key benefits: • Improved access to the Western Sydney Airport site, Leppington Railway Station, the new Leppington Town Centre and the M5 and M7 motorways • Increased road capacity • Improved safety for motorists • Better bus priority and facilities • More reliable travel times • Improved access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
