Communities around the Greater Macarthur growth area are invited to have their say on new works planned for stage two of Spring Farm Parkway.
As Spring Farm Parkway stage one gears up for major construction in mid-2022, strategic designs have been released for the second stage, a three kilometre stretch linking Liz Kernohan Drive to Menangle Road, via the new interchange at Hume Motorway.
“This is an important project for the community as it will create a much needed east-west link through the Greater Macarthur Growth Area,’’ says local MP Peter Sidgreaves.
“I urge people to have their say on the plans because this will be an important service road for the communities of Spring Farm, Elderslie, Menangle Park and Mount Gilead while also providing an alternative to Narellan Road.
“This work will complete the connection between the Hume Motorway, Camden Bypass and Menangle Road,” said the Member for Camden.
The NSW Government has allocated $8 million towards planning and development for the Stage 2 link.
“The stage two link is proposed to be a four lane divided road including, two new bridges over rail lines, shared pedestrian and bicycle paths, drainage, kerb and guttering, improved lighting and traffic lights at two new intersections providing safe access for future land releases,” Mr Sidgreaves said.
Transport will be running a virtual information session next week on Thursday, December 16, 3-4pm. The project team will be available to provide an overview of Spring Farm Parkway Stage 2 and answer questions on the project.
The community is invited to provide feedback by February 20, 2022.

Alternatively, feedback can be provided by calling 1800 325 146 or emailing springfarmparkway2@transport.nsw.gov.au.
At least this road will not reach Mount Gilead yet but looking at Lendleases preferred option residents will have a four-lane highway along Appin Road and another four-lane highway running right through the property but will the council or Lendlease warn new residents before they move in or allow them to only find about it when it is too late?
