About the North West
Our aim is to better connect communities by:
- improving road capacity and traffic flow
- linking key roads and corridors
- building a sustainable, connected transport system
- prioritising bus travel to meet the changing needs of residents and businesses
We are also improving flood evacuation routes in the floodprone Hawkesbury-Nepean and Western Sydney area.
