Essential Rail Services
There is only one train station in the Camden LGA. The State and Federal Government must fund the delivery of urgent connections for Camden to the Western Sydney International Airport and beyond, identified in the Western Sydney City Deal.
The delivery of essential rail services is critical to unlock housing supply, enhance connectivity and accessibility, attract investment and drive economic growth.
Southern Extension of Sydney Metro WSA (North-South Line)
We are advocating for a metro connection extending from Macarthur to Bradfield, with stations at Oran Park, Narellan and the Australian Botanic Garden at Mount Annan.
The extension of the metro line will not only ensure residents can access the identified strategic centres of Narellan and Campbelltown, but it will also provide essential connections for our community to the new international airport, and open Camden and South West Sydney to visitors, providing easy access to key attractors such as the Australian Botanic Farden, Mount Annan. This connection is essential for the rapidly growing Camden and Macarthur community to have reliable public transport access to Campbelltown Hospital and Western Sydney University, Macarthur Campus.
The current projected timeframe for the first stage of this infrastructure to be delivered in 2047, over two decades from now, is not sufficient to support our community or plan for increased housing delivery in key greenfield areas in Camden LGA.
Leppington to Bradfield Extension
We are advocating for a metro or heavy rail extension linking Leppington to Bradfield including a new station at Bradfield South (also known as Bringelly).
The connection of existing rail services within Camden to the Western Sydney International Airport is needed to ensure seamless connection for visitors, residents and workers between South West Sydney and key hubs including Leppington and Bradfield. This will contribute to the success of the Western Sydney International Airport and address growing transport demands in the strategic centre of Leppington.
