The project is identified in the Hunter Strategic Infrastructure Plan (HSIP)
due for submission to the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure and
Transport by end of September 2013.
The Government has worked with the Commonwealth on the HSIP to develop a
comprehensive overview of the strategic, long term infrastructure needs for the
Lower Hunter region, and a platform for negotiations with the Commonwealth on
the future infrastructure funding priorities.
The HSIP identifies the Newcastle Inner City Bypass Rankin Park link as a
priority infrastructure project for consideration by the Commonwealth. The HSIP
notes that completion of the project is dependent on further planning and
funding.
