Australia’s New South Wales State is setting out its plan for future transport network development. Roads and highways remain a key priority for New South Wales, although development work will also encompass mass transit systems. However the State Government has made changes to the plans it set out for transport developments following feedback from residents in the areas being affected by the work.
