The NSW government’s massive infrastructure spend is expected to peak over the next year as the state continues to build its way out of the coronavirus pandemic, with construction soon set to begin on two new major road projects.
Tuesday’s state budget revealed an unprecedented $30 billion infrastructure spend within the next financial year, with $585 million allocated to the Gateway project, linking WestConnex and Sydney Airport, with work likely to begin within months.Credit:The Gateway project was initially slated to be completed in 2023, but that was pushed to 2024 in November, when Premier Gladys Berejiklian tipped construction would begin in early 2021.
The start of work has now been pushed out by at least six months, with construction likely to begin before September. The motorway plays a critical role in the WestConnex, but is not budgeted within $16.8 billion project.Another half a billion dollars will be spent next year on the M6 Motorway as construction begins on stage one of the project, twin four-kilometre tunnels linking Kogarah to the WestConnex M8 tollroad at Arncliffe.
Of the $30 billion being spent on government building projects next year, the transport sector accounts for $18.5 billion. Close to $3 billion will be spent on health infrastructure and $3.4 billion on education. The government’s entire infrastructure spend will eclipse $108 billion over the next four years.He said the Gateway project, along with an upgrade of the Warringah Freeway would add another 4600 jobs.
“We are delivering the largest transport infrastructure program this nation has ever seen investing billions into significant projects like WestConnex and Sydney Metro.”

Gladys Berejiklian resists locking down Sydney | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is resisting a lockdown but says if a number of unlinked cases emerge then the health advice will be adjusted.\n\nThe state has recorded 10 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases – five of which were found before 8pm on Monday night including two announced yesterday.\n\nThere was also a further seven cases recorded after 8pm.\n\n“We follow Dr Chant and the health advice,” Ms Berejiklian said.\n\n“At this stage because all but one case is linked to an existing case and that case was only discovered a few hours ago, that gives us a degree of confidence that what we have asked people to do matches the risk that is there at the moment. \n\n“If that changes, if we suddenly have a number of unlinked cases and if we suddenly have them outside the geographic region they are concentrated in, that will obviously adjust the health advice and we will respond to that.” NSW Gold Standard pfft! Has Sky's Rachel Baxendale and Peta Credlin blamed Dan Andrews for this latest NSW breakout yet. NSW premier is behaving like an adult and using appropriate risk management strategies to balance all the impacts. There fixed it for you. No lock down no need ffs there are 10 people in a city of 6 million, stop the hysteria
