COMMENT SOUGHT ON FUTURE OF
BRINGELLY ROAD
The RTA is planning for the expected population growth in South West Sydney and will be
releasing a list of proposed changes to Bringelly Road and its feeder roads into the future.
An RTA spokesperson said Bringelly Road was a significant road which will play an
important role in the expected growth in the next 20 years.
Bringelly Road is about 10 kilometres long and will form part of the arterial transport
corridors within the South West growth corridor, the spokesperson said
There will be significant traffic growth in future years due to increased residential and
commercial development.
To help cater for this growth the RTA has already started an upgrade of Camden
Valley Way and is now seeking community feedback on a proposed upgrade to Bringelly
Road, the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the Bringelly Road upgrade would be done in stages in
conjunction with the development of precincts.
The first step involves planning the road corridor and access arrangements for the future
upgrade and I am encouraging the community to have a say on the RTAs plans.
It also involves proposing widening the existing road, closing a number of intersections
and installing new traffic lights, the spokesperson said.
The RTA will be mailing residents detailed plans of the upgrades which they can look at
and provide feedback on.
The RTA has held a community information session on Saturday 12 December and will
be holding a second meeting 19 December 2009.
The second information session will be at the Leppington Progress Association Hall on
Ingleburn Road Saturday 19 December between 10am and 3pm.
The spokesperson said there would be displays set up to outline the access strategy.
There will be displays at Liverpool City Council, the Narellan Motor Registry and the
Narellan Library.
Bringelly Road is an important arterial link and I would encourage people to have their say
on the future of this corridor, the spokesperson said.
