Wakehurst Parkway Improvements

On Monday 26 May the project team held a pop-up session at Bilarong community hall, to answer questions and concerns regarding the approved design at Elanora Road. Thank you to those who took the time to attend. In response to key issues and questions raised at the session, please see the fact sheet (PDF, 500.27 KB) and frequently asked questions.

In November 2023, Transport publicly displayed the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR). We would like to thank everyone who made a submission.

We have reviewed and responded to all feedback received in the Submissions Report (PDF, 23.77 MB)which is now available to view.

For a summary of what we heard and our response, please see our August 2024 Community Update (PDF, 2.61 MB).
