The NSW Opposition has called out an appalling broken promise in the Minns Government's first budget which reveals at minimum a $300m gap in the funding provided to deliver vital road upgrades to North-West Sydney. In the 2023/24 Budget, the Minns Government committed $200m over two years for the Western Sydney Flood Resilience program [1] . However in examining the projects, the Opposition can reveal the Government has only provided 40% of the total cost to deliver these works. Project Labor Funding Pre-election Cost Richmond Road Upgrade – M7 to Townson Road $200m over two years $285m Pitt Town Bypass $100m [2] Garfield Road East Upgrade $100m Upgrade the intersection of The Driftway and Londonderry Road $15m Total funding $200m $500m Shortfall - $300m These projects were funded for delivery by the Coalition Government prior to the election through the WestInvest Fund, which required projects to have a finalised business case.
