Community Connect
Project overview
Transport is keen to hear from local communities so we can understand what is important to you when it comes to transport and getting around in your local area.
Current events
Blacktown
Due to an overwhelming response the Blacktown survey has now been closed.
Thank you for your interest and participation.
There will be opportunities in the future to have your say on transport in your local area.
What’s happening in Blacktown?
Garfield Road East, Piccadilly Street to Windsor Road
The NSW Government is planning for the future with an upgrade proposal for Garfield Road East in Riverstone and Grantham Farm.
The upgraded corridor will support current and future traffic demands, reduce travel times and congestion, economic development along the corridor and promote alternative modes of transportation.
Active Transport – Schofields shared path project
The NSW Government encourages walking and bike riding, known as active transport, to be the preferred way to make short trips and a viable, safe and efficient option for longer trips.
This includes the shared user path at Schofields on the northern side of Schofields Road between Railway Terrace and Tallawong Road.
Prospect Highway upgrade
The Australian and NSW Governments are upgrading 3.6 kilometres of Prospect Highway between Reservoir Road, Prospect and St Martins Crescent, Blacktown. This includes upgrading to a four-lane divided road from an undivided two-lane road.
Construction started in early 2022 and is expected to be completed in late-2024.
Richmond Road widening – M7 to Townson Road
Planning and early works are underway to widen a 2.2 km section of road between the M7 Motorway and Townson Road to six lanes and build a new off-ramp bridge.
This will connect Westlink M7 to Richmond Road and ease traffic congestion and improve travel times. It will also support the Hawkesbury Nepean flood evacuation routes.
