Appin Road Scoping Study
Transport for NSW has developed the Appin Road Scoping Study to better understand how a section of Appin Road near Campbelltown town centre currently functions, potential issues and opportunities to improve road safety, access and connectivity in this area.
The study identified a range of initiatives (short, medium and long term) that will provide improved infrastructure and encourage active and public travel modes, improvements to safety for all users, journey reliability and wayfinding.
The first initiative delivered as part of this study is a CCTV camera installed at the Appin Road and Fitzgibbon Lane intersection. This will improve safety, enable better traffic flow and allow for a quicker response to incidents and emergencies.
We will keep the community updated as we continue to progress work identified as part of this study.

About the projects
What we are doing
Appin Road is a key arterial road connecting southwest Sydney to the Illawarra. This busy state road caters to thousands of vehicles including freight trucks every day.
Appin Road extends across the three Local Government Areas of Campbelltown City Council, Wollondilly Shire Council and Wollongong City Council. Most of Appin Road is one lane in each direction, with some two-lane sections that provide overtaking opportunities.
Transport plans to provide improvements on Appin Road with the following projects:
- Appin Road Upgrade – funded and delivered by Stockland as part of a VPA between Rosemeadow and Gilead
- Appin Road Safety Improvements – in Gilead
- Ousedale Creek Koala Underpass – in Appin
- Appin Road and St Johns Road Intersection Upgrade – in Bradbury
Link Road Corridor Study
Transport has also completed a study to identify a suitable route option for a link road between Appin Road, Gilead and Menangle Road, Menangle Park. The link road would support future housing growth and provide a key connection between Appin Road and Spring Farm Parkway Stage 1 and 2 and the Hume Highway at Menangle Park.
