  • Chapter 4 – Strategic Context and Project Need
    Chapter 4 – Strategic context and project need 4 Strategic context and project need 4.1 Current issues with the road network 4.1.1 Traffic congestion across Greater Sydney Traffic growth is forecast across NSW and will include around one million extra road users in Sydney within the next decade and nearly twice the freight movements by 2031. Congestion across metropolitan Sydney is estimated to cost up to $6.1 billion per annum, rising to $12.6 billion by 2030 if nothing is done1. Travel by road is the dominant transport mode in Sydney. Even with high growth in rail freight and public transport, road travel is predicted to continue to be the most dominant travel choice for at least the next 20 years2. Traffic congestion impacts communities and businesses by: • Affecting Sydney’s large and significant freight, service and business operations • Reducing the reliability of, and accessibility to, public transport • Constraining the movement of pedestrians and cyclists • Reducing amenity for nearby residents, pedestrians, cyclists and sensitive land uses (educational and health facilities). 4.1.2 Missing regional motorway link In Sydney’s South District (which includes the Canterbury-Bankstown, Georges River and Sutherland LGAs), over 50 per cent of journeys are undertaken by car. There is currently no motorway between the existing M1 Princes Motorway south of Waterfall and the Sydney motorway network. All local and through traffic, including heavy vehicle traffic, is currently required to use the arterial road network to travel between Waterfall and Sydney, principally the A1 Princes Highway, the A3 King Georges Road and / or the A6 Heathcote Road / New Illawarra Road.
