A second major concern is the failure of the north-south rail link to connect Sydney Metro Northwest to Western Sydney Airport. The figure below shows the location of the corridor relative to the Hills Shire boundary.

For the purposes of this document, we define Western Sydney as the Western City District (Blue Mountains, Camden, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Hawkesbury, Liverpool, Penrith and Wollondilly local government areas). The corridors in Western Sydney provide strong connections between the cluster and support economic opportunities.

Bells Line of Road – Castlereagh Connection

Consultation

Over a two month period we consulted on both the Bells Line of Road - Castlereagh Connection and the Outer Sydney Orbital. We received over 1,200 submissions on both the Bells Line of Road – Castlereagh Connection and the Outer Sydney Orbital.

Parts of this are included in the recommended Bells Line of Road - Castlereagh Connection corridor; however, much of it is no longer considered viable for future transport links due to the large number of endangered species now inhabiting the Castlereagh Freeway corridor. Future and existing land use: includes land currently earmarked for a range of uses and development, such as residential and employment zones supporting the development of the North West Growth Area.
