Roads and Maritime will actively look at ways to further reduce the impact of the M12 Motorway on the community. The corridor route is generally 300 metres wide, however the final width of the motorway corridor (i.e the final road reserve for the motorway) would be around 150 metres typically, wider around intersections/interchanges. The reduced corridor will be included in the display of the EIS.
On behalf of the Australian and NSW governments, Roads and Maritime Services is planning the M12 Motorway as part of the $3.6 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan. The M12 Motorway will provide direct access to Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek and connect to Sydney’s motorway network.
As of November 2017, a preliminary design has been developed with some changes to the preferred corridor route announced in 2016. We are now seeking community feedback to inform the next stage of design.
The M12 Motorway would:
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the key features of a project and assesses the potential environmental and social impacts during construction and operation. The EIS for the M12 Motorway outlined the measures that will be implemented to manage and minimise potential impacts from the project.
The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) placed the EIS for the M12 Motorway on exhibition for 28 days from Wednesday 16 October 2019 until 18 November 2019. This provided the community, government agencies and stakeholders with an understanding of what the project proposes and gave them an opportunity to make comment on the project.
Transport for NSW considered all feedback received during the EIS display period and made amendments to the project as a result. These amendments are described and assessed in an amendment report, which is now on exhibition for 14 days for public comment.
The EIS Submissions Report documenting the submissions and responses to the issues raised during EIS exhibition has now been submitted to the DPIE.
Read the EIS Submissions Report
Following exhibition of the amendment report, TfNSW will prepare a supplementary EIS submissions report if required. DPIE will then prepare an assessment report for the Minister of Planning and Public Spaces and the Australian Environment Minister who will determine whether or not the project will be granted approval and any conditions of approval.
Why has Transport for NSW prepared an Amendment Report (AR)?
Transport for NSW (Transport) submitted a request to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) to amend the project under clause 192 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (NSW) (EP&A Regulation) to include changes to design and construction since the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) exhibition.
These project changes provide functional improvements to the design and improved integration with surrounding major transport infrastructure projects and potential future development. They also respond to issues raised in community and stakeholder submissions, and in some instances, further reduce the potential impacts of the project as described in the EIS.
DPIE gave Transport approval to amend the project in May 2020 and requested that Transport prepare an Amendment Report to outline the proposed design and construction changes to the project and assesses the associated environmental impact. Where required, the report has included additional or revised environmental management measures to manage or minimise environmental impacts.
The Amendment Report is on public exhibition for two weeks to give the community, government agencies and stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the amended project.
