NSW Government Projects Fund
The NSW Government Projects Fund consists of $3 billion to be allocated towards projects led by NSW Government agencies to deliver transformational projects for the benefit of local communities.
The initial tranche of projects, announced at the 2022-23 Budget, provides $478.2 million towards upgrading nine public schools in Western Sydney.
Further projects approved prior to the 2022-23 Half-Yearly Review include the Westmead Education Campus, as well as $1 billion in upgrades for critical roads in Western Sydney to keep residents moving, reduce congestion and improve flood resilience.
These projects include:
- $600.0 million allocated for road infrastructure upgrades across the WestInvest local government areas
- $200.0 million towards improving safety on Elizabeth Drive at critical sections between Devonshire Road and Western Road, Kemps Creek
- $100.0 million to support the construction of the Pitt Town bypass to extend Pitt Town Road past Bathurst Street onto Cattai Road (east of Eldon Street). This project is crucial to improve flood resilience given the recent floods in the Hawkesbury-Nepean area
- $100.0 million to enable the upgrade of a 3.4 km section of Garfield Road East between Piccadilly Street, Riverstone and Windsor Road, Box Hill.
