North South Rail Line and South West Rail Link Extension
On 30 June 2020, the NSW Government confirmed the final corridors to support the delivery of the proposed Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport and South West Rail Link Extension projects. A new State Environmental Planning Policy identifies land that is intended to be used in the future as an infrastructure corridor.
The State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Infrastructure Corridors) 2020 identifies the location, and relevant planning controls applying to land identified within the North South Rail Line and South West Rail Link Extension corridors, including land within the Camden LGA.
The North South Rail Line Corridor will support the delivery of both Stage 1 and future stages of Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport and run from St Marys, with a tunnel to Orchard Hills, through to the new Western Sydney Airport, Aerotropolis and Macarthur, with a tunnel from Oran Park.
The South West Rail Link Extension Corridor will run from the Aerotropolis through Kelvin Park and Rossmore to join the suburban rail network at Leppington.
