Transport for NSW publicly displayed the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for community and stakeholder feedback between 21 September and 31 October 2023.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the consultation.

The key issues raised during consultation were about:

• proposal design and construction
• property acquisition
• socio-economic impacts
• consultation process. 

For more detailed information, you can view the November community update (PDF, 1.58 MB).

We have prepared a detailed Submissions Report which summarises comments and questions received during the public display and our responses. You can access these reports:

• Elizabeth Drive Upgrade East - October 2024 (PDF, 6.15 MB)
• Elizabeth Drive Upgrade West - October 2024 (PDF, 3.78 MB).

Elizabeth Drive is a key east-west corridor in Western Sydney. It will provide direct access to the Western Sydney Airport Precincts and future employment area within the precincts, and connect to north-south corridors that are enabling growth of nearby areas. 

To address this growth and increase in traffic we are planning to upgrade Elizabeth Drive. 

The proposed upgrade would provide two lanes in each direction together with a median island, landscaping and paths to improve safety and congestion for neighbouring communities.Transport’s improvement plan for Elizabeth Drive, includes:

• upgrading the road between the M12 Motorway and Devonshire Road to four-lane road (with a wide median for two extra lanes in the future)
• interim safety improvements at two key Elizabeth Drive locations:
  • between Clifton Avenue and Devonshire Road (now complete)
  • at the Western Road intersection (to start construction later this year).
     

We will now progress with the design development and any further environmental considerations.

We will continue to consult with the community and stakeholders prior to and during the construction phase. If you have any questions, please contact the project team on 1800 865 303 during business hours or email elizabethdrive@transport.nsw.gov.au.
