Council is creating the future of Penrith through focused advocacy and planning - a place with good jobs and good connections, supporting the people who live in one of Australia's fastest growing regions.

Advocacy Priorities

Council's advocacy work highlights the priority projects and infrastructure that Penrith needs to fully capitalise on our unique assets and strategic position within the Western Parkland City.

Castlereagh Connection

Delivery of the corridor would address a critical need to improve connectivity, address congestion and improve flood evacuation in Penrith City.

Werrington Arterial Stage 2

The missing link of critical infrastructure between the M4 at St Marys and the North-West Growth Area needed to alleviate congestion and connect residents and businesses in Western Sydney.

Western Sydney City Deal

A landmark agreement between three levels of government to develop a coordinated plan and deliver long-term prosperity for the region.

Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport

A north/south rail link is not just an option for a future airport, it presents the opportunity to develop the Western Sydney Employment Area and create jobs of the future.

Coreen Avenue Intersection Upgrades

An important upgrade to intersections along the Coreen Avenue corridor aims to improve the efficiency and safety of the road for all users.
