Impacts of Westconnex Stage 1 Local area improvement strategy (LAIS)



In April, RMS released plans for changes to roads in the inner west following the opening of Westconnex Stage 1 tunnel portals at Parramatta Road and Wattle Street (Ashfield and Haberfield). In 2016, the Administrator (of the amalgamated Inner West Council) commissioned a study which made recommendations on mitigating the effects of the opening of Stage 1 of Westconnex.

RMS: "Haberfield, Ashfield and Leichhardt local network improvements"

The RMS plans are on exhibition until May 24.

Inner West Council 2016-8 Local area improvement strategy (LAIS)

Inner West Council under the administrator commissioned a report on the operational impact of Westconnex. The report made recommendations on what should be done to ameliorate the effect of the opening of WestConnex (stage 1) which includes tunel portals on Parramatta Road and Wattle Street at Ashfield/Haberfield. The estimated total cost of LAIS works is up to $29million and further community consultation would be required.

These are the measures proposed in the LAIS for Haberfield, Ashfield, Leichhardt and Annandale.
