Stacey Street road widening
Drag the slider from the left to right to compare the existing road layout to the designed road layout.
We're pleased to advise our first stage of construction is completed. We have widened the southbound lanes of Stacey Street between Macauley Avenue and Stanley Street to provide three lanes in the southbound direction for road users. We have also extended the existing dual right turn bay on Stacey Street for road users travelling right into Macauley Avenue.
This work will allow road users to move quicker through the road corridor, connecting you to southern Sydney, Sydney CBD and Sydney's west.

Intersection improvements at Stacey Street,
Fairford Road and Macauley Avenue
Drag the slider from the left to right to compare the existing road layout to the designed road layout.
We are widening the northbound lanes of Stacey Street between Macauley Avenue and Stanley Street to provide three lanes in the northbound direction for road users. We are also improving the Stacey Street and Macauley Avenue intersection to provide a quicker journey for a large number of road users turning right from Macauley Avenue onto Fairford Road.
Work includes:
- changing Macauley Avenue to include double right turning lanes for road users travelling southbound onto Fairford Road and a dedicated right turn lane for buses
- widening Fairford Road to provide three northbound lanes and a left turn lane at the intersection of Macauley Avenue.

Intersection improvements at Stacey Street, Stanley Street and Salvia Avenue
Drag the slider from the left to right to compare the existing road layout to the designed road layout.
After considering comments from the community and key stakeholders about the loss of open space and the removal of trees at Stevens Reserve, we have decided not to proceed with the proposed road widening on Stanley Street, Bankstown.
This means we won't create an additional right turning lane on Stanley Street, we can now move the delivery of all other improvements into the second stage of construction, providing more immediate congestion and safety benefits for local residents.
During second stage, we will extend the right turn bay on Stacey Street southbound into Stanley Street so more motorists can queue to safely turn.
We will install new pedestrian crossing lights at Salvia Avenue near Stacey Street.

Closed footbridge over the storm water culvert on Stacey Street directly opposite Petunia Avenue
Transport for NSW investigated the use of the pedestrian footbridge across the open drain on Stacey Street due to safety concerns. Pedestrian volumes were measured during morning and afternoon peak periods on a weekday and across a 12-hour period on the weekend.
A total of 17 pedestrians used the mid-block crossing during the morning peak period and 13 during the afternoon peak period during the weekday. A total of 40 pedestrians used the pedestrian footbridge during the 12-hour period on the weekend, with a maximum of eight pedestrians per hour.
Due to the low volumes of use and safety concerns raised by the community, we closed the access to the footbridge as part of our project to improve Stacey Street during the first stage of construction. The footbridge will soon be removed from the open drain on Stacey Street as part of work within the second stage.
Alternative pedestrian access across Stacey Street is available at the intersections of Stanley Street and Macauley Avenue.
Stacey Street open drain
Covering the open drain on Stacey Street was investigated and considered as part of this project. A number of possible solutions were discussed with key stakeholders including Sydney Water and the City of Canterbury Bankstown.
Due to the constraints of the existing drain structure, covering the drain completely or partially would impact the effective flood management of the area. For this reason it was not able to be covered further as part of this project.
Stevens Reserve
After considering comments from the community and key stakeholders about the loss of open space and the removal of trees at Stevens Reserve, we have decided not to proceed with the proposed road widening on Stanley Street, Bankstown.
This means we won't create an additional right turning lane on Stanley Street, we can now move the delivery of all other improvements into the second stage of construction, providing more immediate congestion and safety benefits for local residents.
