Introduction The Draft Future Transport Strategy 2056 is an update of the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan. The document provides a 40-year vision for mobility developed with the Greater Sydney Commission, the Department of Planning and Environment and Infrastructure NSW. The Strategy, among other priorities, includes services to regional NSW and Infrastructure Plans aimed at renewing regional connectivity. Regional cities and centres are proposed to increase their roles as hubs for surrounding communities for employment and services such as retail, health, education and cultural activities. 2. Illawarra Business Chamber/Illawarra First The Illawarra Business Chamber (IBC) is the Illawarra Region’s peak business organisation and is dedicated to helping business of all sizes maximise their potential.

UDIA represents over 500 member companies that are directly involved in across the industry including developers, consultants (engineering, planning, legal, environmental, design) and local government, for the goal of Liveable, Affordable & Connected Smart Cities. UDIA has a keen interest in the proposed Outer Sydney Orbital project (the OSO) which we regard as a major city shaping initiative that will provide improved road and rail freight access in Greater Western Sydney (GWS) and beyond the metropolitan region. UDIA supports improving regional road links between GWS and the Illawarra Shoalhaven, which forms part of the UDIA’s regional strategy titled “Unblocking the Illawarra-Shoalhaven Strategy 2019-20” (Refer to Attachment No.1). However, we contend that Transport for NSW (TfNSW) must assess all potential road options, assess all key issues impacting current and future markets, and share that analysis with stakeholders before a final option is recommended. This approach will provide greater support for the final outcome and help key stakeholders including the community, landholders and local councils determine their response and longer-term aspirations for the OSO at Appin. In order to remove the uncertainty that is already impacting on the region, we recommend that TfNSW consider the following issues as a matter of urgency before a final option is recommended to link the Illawarra Shoalhaven to the OSO at Douglas Park, which is being delivered in Stage 1.
