Picton Road is a 37 kilometre transport corridor linking the Illawarra Region with Sydney, the South West and Greater Macarthur Priority Growth areas.
In November 2020, the NSW Government announced $44 million to plan for an upgrade of Picton Road between the Wilton Growth Area and the M1 Princes Motorway.
An upgrade of Picton Road would support growing communities and businesses across Western Sydney and the Illawarra Shoalhaven by providing improved access to jobs, services, education and suppliers between the neighbouring regions.
Our goal is to help create great places by providing a reliable and safe road network to access high value employment and social amenities so people can live, work and play closer to home.
