Mamre Road Upgrade
Land Acquisition
Is Your Land Affected by the Mamre Road Upgrade?
If your property sits along Mamre Road between the M4 Motorway in St Clair and Kerrs Road in Kemps Creek, you may be impacted by the NSW Government’s major road upgrade. Knowing your rights and understanding the acquisition process is essential. These large infrastructure projects can be disruptive, but with the right legal support, you can protect your property and get the payout you deserve.
What is the Mamre Road Upgrade?
The Mamre Road Upgrade is an essential part of a larger plan aimed at promoting growth in Western Sydney and improving access to key job centres and the new Western Sydney Airport. Mamre Road serves as a crucial transport route, and this upgrade is designed to boost safety, ease congestion, and meet future demands.
The current 10km stretch of road will undergo widening and modernisation in two phases:
- Stage One – 3.8km from the M4 Motorway at St Clair to Erskine Park Road in Erskine Park
- State Two – 6.1km from Erskine Park Road to Kerrs Road in Kemps Creek
These improvements are planned to help manage increasing traffic, enhance safety, and reduce delays throughout the region.
What is Compulsory Land Acquisition?
Compulsory acquisition, also known as resumption or compulsory purchase, is when government authorities acquire private land for public infrastructure projects. This process, while legal, must comply with strict guidelines to ensure property owners are fairly compensated and treated respectfully.
