Last week the NSW Government announced that initial planning application has been lodged for the WestConnex motorway. This is one of Australia's largest and most complex infrastructure projects.
What does this mean for the property market?
The 33-kilometre motorway will link Western Sydney and South Western Sydney with the City, Airport and Port Botany. This will have enormous benefits for areas once thought of as too far from the CBD for the daily commute, as they will soon be more accessible with less traffic and shorter travel time.
Take away the 'inaccessible' excuse that has plagued the western suburbs, you are left with an affordable area set for huge infrastructure plans - which is why our projects The Rise [Parramatta] and The Grande [Liverpool] sit at the top of our best picks for property investments and home buyers.
