Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan
Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP) is an A$4.1 billion 10-year road investment program in Western Sydney, New South Wales, jointly funded by the federal government ($3.3 billion) and the New South Wales state government. Originally introduced in April 2014 as a $3.5 billion program consisting of key road upgrade projects in Western Sydney, in conjunction with the newly-announced Western Sydney Airport project, the program scope was later expanded and funding was increased to $4.1 billion. The funding is now split among:
The plan was to take place over 10 years, starting with the Bringelly Road upgrade which commenced construction in January 2015. The last component to be completed was the M12 Motorway, which opened on 14 March 2026 and will be fully completed in mid-2026, prior to the completion of the new airport later that year.
$1.6 billion of the infrastructure plan was used to fund the upgrade of 35 km (21.7 mi) of The Northern Road between The Old Northern Road at Narellan and Jamison Road at South Penrith, including road widening to a minimum of four lanes. Originally made up of four stages, the project was delivered in six stages, numbered by chronological order of construction commencement.
The stages arranged from north to south are stages 3, 5, 6, 4, 2 and 1. Some sections of Stages 4 to 6 that were critical to the delivery of the Western Sydney Airport were opened in stages from 2020.
$509 million of the plan was used on the upgrade of the 10 km (6.2 mi) Bringelly Road, which was delivered in two stages between Camden Valley Way at Leppington and The Northern Road at Bringelly. The upgrade works included widening of the road with a central median, and implementing a speed limit of 80 km/h along the road. A new underpass with The Northern Road was also constructed as part of The Northern Road upgrade, opened in July 2020.
The first stage between Camden Valley Way and King Street at Rossmore, commenced construction in January 2015 and opened to traffic in December 2018. The second stage between King Street and The Northern Road was completed in December 2020.
The plan includes the 16 km (9.9 mi) M12 Motorway, which will provide direct access between the Western Sydney Airport and Sydney's motorway network at M7 motorway. The federal government has committed $1.4 billion towards the delivery of the $1.75 billion motorway. Construction commenced in August 2022 and majority of the motorway opened on 14 March 2026, prior to the opening of the airport. The interchange with M7 will open later that year.
The Werrington Arterial Road was the first major project of the infrastructure plan to be completed, involving the upgrade of Gipps Street between Great Western Highway and M4 Western Motorway in Werrington. Upgrade works including road widening, new entry and exit ramps to the M4, and intersection upgrades. The federal government contributed 50 per cent of the cost of the $52 million upgrade. Construction commenced in March 2015 and was completed in May 2017.
