More information about the concept design is available in our We will stage the upgrades at Ador Park, McCarthy Park and Brighton Memorial Playing Fields to minimise impact to the existing facilities and soccer season.On behalf of Bayside Council, we developed a concept design and We received 117 submissions from the local community, organisations and sporting groups. The project is a key element of the NSW Government’s transport vision for NSW, connecting Sydney’s south to the wider motorway network.The M6 Stage 1 will deliver the missing link from Sydney’s south to the wider Sydney motorway network making journeys easier, faster and safer. There will also be an upgrade of the Princes Highway and President Avenue intersection.

These measures include the EPA regulating the ventilation facilities of all current and future operating motorway tunnels to ensure they meet air quality limits.As part of these measures additional checks are required before the EIS for the project can be approved by the Minister for Planning. The following documents supported the planning process:The PIR was publicly exhibited from 17 April to 8 May 2019, and is available to view or download on the Our construction activities will have a temporary impact on open space and the recreational facilities at Rockdale Bicentennial Park. The project will include new shared cycle and pedestrian pathways, as well as a new pedestrian bridge across President Avenue. The M8 Motorway, previously known as the New M5 during planning and construction of its first stage, is a 9-kilometre-long (5.6 mi) tolled motorway in Sydney, Australia. It consists predominantly of tunnels, including tunnel connections to the future M4–M5 Link (M8 Motorway second stage) and the future M6 Motorway. M6 will provide more direct access from southern Sydney to the wider Sydney motorway network.

As part of the motorway, a motorway control centre and tunnel ventilation facilities will be built.In the mid 2010s, the F6 extension project was revived under the Liberal-National In June 2017, it was revealed that the state government had reviewed a 3.6 billion dollar train tunnel between Thirroul and Waterfall on the In October 2017, the government announced it will proceed with Stage 1 of the F6 extension, which will run via two 4 km tunnels linking the New M5 (now M8) tunnels at Arncliffe to President Avenue at Kogarah.In October 2019, the government announced a name change of the extension to "M6 Motorway", removing its reference to the defunct F6 name.

It will remove more than 2,000 trucks a day from surface roads, and help return local streets to local communities.The project is expected to cost between $2.2 and $2.6 billion, and open to traffic late 2025.This project will deliver major travel time savings including:Air quality in Sydney is good by national and international standards.

According to data published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) who set global air quality guidelines, Sydney’s air quality is better than their guidelines and the air quality of other global cities such as Washington, Helsinki, London and Paris.In February 2018, the NSW Government announced stronger measures on emissions from motorway tunnels. View the The M6 Stage 1 underwent a rigorous planning process with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment granting planning planning approval in December 2019. The M6 Stage 1 will deliver the missing link from Sydney’s south to the wider Sydney motorway network making journeys easier, faster and safer. The M6 Motorway (previously F6 Extension) program of works is a proposed multi-lane road link that aims to provide better connectivity to Sydney’s south and will be delivered in three stages. The NSW Government will call for tender applications for construction of the M6 Stage 1 project, estimated to cost around $2.6 billion. The renaming to a different route number was likely due to the government deciding not to connect the future southern end of M6 at The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces approved the M6 Stage 1 project in December 2019. As part of the approval process, there have been some further changes that will result in greater benefits and reduced impacts to the community. Extending the M6 (F6) through Sutherland Shire will result in "significant losses" of parks and sporting fields even if the motorway is built largely in a … We understand how important this area is for you so will be upgrading the existing facilities at Ador Park and McCarthy Reserve, Rockdale and Brighton Memorial Playing Fields, before construction starts.Your new recreational facilities will include the creation of new grass and synthetic playing fields, more car parking spaces as well as a new skate park and play areas. The first stage of a new toll road in Sydney’s south – to be renamed the M6 motorway – will now be opened to motorists by the end of 2025, about a year later than planned. Mainline tunnel stubs near the southern end to allow for connections to Stage 2 of the F6 Extension; No decision had yet been made on tolling. The report also acknowledged that a reduction in air quality would occur throughout the construction of the project in the area due to construction vehicles, earthworks and numerous other factors.

The project, referred to the ‘missing link’ motorway, aims to connect Sydney’s South. The air quality considerations are addressed in the Environmental Impact Statement is now on exhibition.Air quality modelling for the project showed that under expected traffic conditions for the project the predicted contribution of tunnel ventilation outlets to local air quality was negligibleExisting measures monitoring the air quality inside motorway tunnels remain in place.
