Upgrade of "unsafe" Fifteenth Avenue

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, The undersigned petitioners ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the Government to urgently: • Prepare and release a multi-year staging plan to upgrade Fifteenth Avenue, to provide reliable and safe access between Cowpasture Road and the Aerotropolis • Fully fund the plan’s implementation • As part of this, fill a gap in Western Sydney’s public transport network by delivering frequent and direct Liverpool to WSIA bus services. Fifteenth Avenue is the most direct road connecting Liverpool to the new Western Sydney International Airport (WSIA) and Aerotropolis. The road services Austral, the Liverpool LGA’s fastest-growing suburb, where residential development is supplying much-needed housing for south-western Sydney. Fifteenth Avenue is also relied on by the people of Middleton Grange and West Hoxton to access schools, jobs, train services and other daily needs. While parallel routes to WSIA, including Bringelly Road and Elizabeth Drive, have been or are being upgraded, Fifteenth Avenue is not fit for purpose. It provides only two lanes, with drivers, delivery vehicles and bus passengers being caught up in extreme traffic delays. These lead to peak period waits of 40 minutes for people to travel 300 metres. The community needs this fixed now. Fifteenth Avenue has been earmarked for a critically needed Liverpool to WSIA rapid bus service. Yet the $50 million allocated by the Government to the corridor represents one-tenth of what is required to bring it to an acceptable standard for existing and future users.
