F6 Extension Stage 1 Community Update
April 2019
The NSW Government is addressing congestion, improving safety and providing more choice for how you move around Sydney. Improvements to road, rail and public transport will ensure our transport network enables easier, faster and safer journeys. That’s why we are investing more than ever before on transport infrastructure, helping to grow the NSW economy and create tens of thousands of jobs in the process.

The F6 Extension Stage 1 will connect President Avenue at Kogarah to the New M5 Motorway at Arncliffe, removing over 2,000 trucks a day from surface roads; returning local streets to local communities.
As part of an integrated transport solution this four kilometre underground motorway will ease congestion, allowing users to bypass up to 23 sets of traffic lights on the Princes Highway between St Peters and Kogarah. It will contribute to a more accessible, more liveable and productive Greater Sydney.
We thank you for sharing your feedback on the project during the public exhibition of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). We recognise that shared cycle and pedestrian pathways are important travel connections and we have heard your concerns about traffic access around President Avenue. Following your feedback, a Submissions Report and a Preferred Infrastructure Report (PIR) have been prepared.
The Submissions Report responds to the submissions made by the community, councils and government agencies.
The PIR outlines and assesses alternative design options that were an outcome of the exhibition of the EIS. We are making two changes to the design based on your feedback:
1. Traffic changes will include improved access arrangements on President Avenue, Kogarah
2. The shared cycle and pedestrian pathway will be extended further south to O’Connell Street, Kogarah.
These proposed changes are subject to planning approval.
The reports can be viewed on the Department of Planning and Environment’s website: planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projects

Shared cycle and pedestrian pathway
Southern extension of the shared cycle and pedestrian pathways The planned shared cycle and pedestrian pathways will extend south to continue from Scarborough Park North, along the former
Moorefield Racecourse in Civic Avenue Reserve to O’Connell Street, Monterey.
Your feedback has led to improved traffic and access arrangements along President Avenue, Kogarah. They are: • Moorefield Avenue remaining
open as a left in, left out intersection
• Installing traffic lights at Lachal Avenue to provide a right hand turn from President Avenue
• Maintaining the existing parking spaces on Lachal Avenue
• Installing traffic lights and removing a small amount of parking at Civic Avenue to improve access and safety
• Switching traffic directions in Traynor Avenue and Lachal Avenue
• Installing an additional left hand turn lane at the intersection on West Botany Street.
