Raby Road Upgrade
The NSW Government has funded the preparation of the concept and detailed designs for the Raby Road Upgrade project through the State Infrastructure Contributions program.
The design for an upgrade of Raby Road between Emerald Hills Boulevard and Thunderbolt Drive is progressing. The upgrade aims to improve safety and traffic flow and to ensure the road supports future population growth in the area.
Raby Road is a key east-west link between Camden and Campbelltown Local Government Areas (LGAs). The areas around the Raby Road corridor will experience substantial growth over the next few years with the Camden LGA which is expected to triple its population over 25 years.
The upgrade designs consist of:
- Upgrading the intersection of Raby Road and Gledswood Hills Drive to a signalised intersection.
- Replacing the current roundabout at the intersection of Raby Road and Thunderbolt Drive to a signalised intersection.
- Providing a 2.5-metre-wide shared path for cyclists and pedestrians on the northern side of Raby Road for the length of the upgrade and the southern side of Raby Road from Emerald Hills Boulevard to Gledswood Hills Drive.
- Improvements to the intersection of Gledswood Hills Drive and Raby Road by realigning a small section of road and constructing a new roundabout on Gledswood Hills Drive to improve safety and property access.
- Provision of dedicated right-turn lanes on Raby Road to access Macarthur Grange Country Club, Gledswood Hills Drive and a future subdivision at 121 Raby Road.
- Replacing the bridge over the Water NSW canal south of Emerald Hills Boulevard and constructing twin bridges to provide the additional lanes on Raby Road (two-lanes upgraded to four-lanes).
- Landscaping on both sides of the road and in the new median.
- Upgrades and changes to some property driveways and accesses along the upgrade section of Raby Road. Driveways are proposed to be realigned to connect to the upgrade Raby Road or a side street.
The detailed design and final business case is being progressed and is expected to be completed late 2024. The concept and detailed designs for this project were funded by the NSW Government's $2.9 million grant through the State Infrastructure Contributions program. The final business case will seek funding for the construction of the proposed road upgrade and the assurance for the construction funding will be subject to the review by the NSW Government. 2022 In March 2022 Enstruct Group Pty Ltd were contracted to undertake the detailed design and Final Business Case (FBC) for the project. The scope included the review of concept design to address the concerns raised during the consultation. Design changes were investigated and identified. Further consultations with the affected landholders were concluded in November 2022 and were agreed to proceed with the concept plan to the detailed planning stage. 2024 The Detailed Design and Final Business Case is being progressed and the completion is expected in July 2024. Details of the final designs will be shared with the affected landholders, the community, the Transport for NSW, and other key authority stakeholders when completed.
