Bandon Road Corridor Upgrade and Extension - North West Growth Area

Reviewed

The Federal Government has committed $75 million in addition to NSW Government’s initial $75 million to progress the planning of the new Bandon Road corridor at Vineyard; in line with the previously finalised Bandon Road corridor completed in 2019.

The new Bandon Road corridor runs between Richmond Road, Marsden Park and Windsor Road, Vineyard. Bandon Road is part of the North West Growth Centre Road Network Strategy.

The Federal Government and NSW Government have committed a total of $150 million to progress the planning for the Bandon Road Corridor Upgrade and Extension project.

With additional funding allocated for the corridor, Transport for NSW is commencing the concept design phase.

The funding committed will enable Transport for NSW to recommence the upgrade project, undertake the necessary investigations, engage with stakeholders and the community and prepare a concept design, environmental assessment and business case for the future delivery of identified priority works.

Transport for NSW will liaise with key stakeholders and residents along the corridor as the project investigations progress.

Project information

Overview

The Bandon Road Upgrade and Extension Project connects Richmond Road, Marsden Park and Windsor Road, Vineyard through Marsden Park North, Riverstone West, Riverstone and Vineyard precincts.

This corridor will provide an extra road connection between Richmond Road and Windsor Road and reduce traffic congestion within Riverstone and provide alternative access across the North West Growth Area.

The finalised Bandon Road corridor is part of the North West Growth Centre Road Network Strategy.

The Bandon Road corridor was finalised in 2019. Community consultation on the preferred Bandon Road corridor started in August 2016. Finalising this corridor was the result of a formal consultation process and community and stakeholder engagement carried out over several years. This finalised corridor has been sent to NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to include in precinct plans for the North West Growth Area.

Benefits

The finalised corridor will:

  • provide an extra connection between Richmond Road and Windsor Road
  • reduce congestion in the Riverstone Town Centre by providing a road underpass of the Richmond railway line at Vineyard
  • improve access to Vineyard railway station
  • improve road and railway safety by removing level crossings in Vineyard
  • improve access to Riverstone Industrial Area, Marsden Park, Marsden Park North, Riverstone West, Riverstone and Vineyard precincts
  • allow for local and cross regional pedestrian and cyclist access needs
  • provide an upgrade and realignment of existing flood evacuation route on Wallace Road and Bandon Road
  • increase road capacity to meet the future needs of the North West Growth Area.

Features

The preferred corridor includes:

  • a new four lane divided road including a central median to allow for future widening
  • an off-road shared path for pedestrians and cyclists
  • a new road underpass of the Richmond railway line at Vineyard
  • traffic light intersections and a central median to improve road safety
  • two bridges across the flood plain
  • two flood plain storage excavation areas to compensate for embankments at Bandon Road
  • an upgrade and realignment of the existing flood evacuation route on Wallace Road.

Next steps

We are currently developing concept design and environmental assessment. Once this is complete, we then:

  • display the Review of Environmental Factors seeking Community Feedback
  • consider Community Feedback and prepare Submissions Report
  • gain approval to proceed
  • detailed design*
  • construction.*

*Subject to funding.
