The Opposition is calling on the Minns Government to release the Strategic Infrastructure Review following its delivery to the Premier and Treasurer on 30 June 2023, and rule out cuts to critical NSW infrastructure.
Shadow Minister for Infrastructure Natalie Ward said the Coalition Government left Labor a $116.6 billion infrastructure pipeline of roads, rail, metro, schools and hospitals that NSW needs.
Instead of safeguarding our state’s critical infrastructure Premier Minns has already told media “We've already identified a range of infrastructure projects that we don't believe are a priority right now”.1
“Premier Minns has a secret infrastructure hit list and he needs to be honest with our community, about which critical infrastructure is he going to cut. Will the Premier guarantee the delivery of key transport infrastructure like Mulgoa Road, Henry Lawson Drive, Richmond Road, New Richmond Bridge or the Pitt-Town Bypass,” said Mrs Ward.
“This Labor Government has been unwilling to put the community first, instead cutting local community projects to pay for promises to union bosses.”
“We know the outcome of any Labor Review is a Labor Cut, but they won’t even tell us which communities are going to miss out under the Minns Government.”
