In December 2019, the M6 Stage 1 (previously referred to as the F6 Extension - Stage 1) received planning approval from the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. However, the road corridor reserved since 1951 for future stages of the M6 remains in place.For more information please contact the M6 Stage 1 team: 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. 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. Roads Minister Andrew Constance said the M6 Stage 1 would provide relief for motorists around Kogarah and Brighton-le-Sands. Planned and constructed as part of the WestConnexproject, WestConnex tolls are applied to the motorway. Stage 1 of the M6 Motorway, previously known as the F6 extension during preliminary planning stages, is a proposed motorway consisting of twin, 4-kilometre long tunnels linking the M8 Motorway at Arncliffe to President Avenue at Kogarah. The M6 Stage 1, previously known as the F6 Extension, includes four kilometre twin tunnels between the new M5 Motorway at Arncliffe and President Avenue at Kogarah. The M6 Stage 1, previously known as the F6 Extension, includes four kilometre twin tunnels between the new M5 Motorway at Arncliffe and President Avenue at Kogarah.

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. Refer to the contacts below for enquiries relating to Sydney motorways. 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. 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 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.

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. Motorways and toll roads WestConnex - New M4, M4 Freeway, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour Tunnel and general enquiries. 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. It links the M5 Motorway at Kingsgrove to St Peters Interchange. There are no plans to further investigate the remaining area (Section D) between Loftus and Waterfall for a motorway connection.There is currently no timeline, funding commitment or planning approval for Section B or Section C of the Corridor Reserve. 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 project is expected to create 5300 jobs throughout its life and will fill one of the missing links in Sydney’s motorway network. Roads Minister Andrew Constance said the M6 Stage 1 would provide relief for motorists around Kogarah and Brighton-le-Sands. 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.
