6119 - NEW HOMES AND INCREASED TRAFFIC BETWEEN WALLSEND AND GLENDALE

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Roads

Noting that more than 4,000 homes are being planned for the western suburbs of Newcastle between Wallsend and Glendale and that the Newcastle Link Road, Minmi Road, Main Road, Thomas Street and Newcastle Road are already congested, what plans are in place to deal with the influx of cars on these roads that will come from these 4,000 homes?
Answer -

I am advised:

Transport for NSW is working with stakeholders to understand potential land use changes and help identify necessary service and infrastructure improvements to accommodate anticipated growth in employment and housing across Newcastle.

Future service and infrastructure initiatives for the Hunter have been identified through the Greater Newcastle Metropolitan Plan as well as the Greater Newcastle Future Transport Plan, the overarching strategic transport network and vision that guide future transport planning for the Greater Newcastle area.
