Construction has begun on a major project to make it easier for people to walk, cycle and find their way through the Campbelltown Health and Education Precinct (CHEP).
The $9.4million CHEP Connectivity, Wayfinding and Identity Project will improve connections between key destinations including, Western Sydney University, TAFE Campbelltown, Macarthur Square, Campbelltown Hospital, Macarthur Clinical School and the Macarthur Medical Research Centre.
The project will deliver:
- A stronger north-south connection through the precinct
- New and upgraded active transport infrastructure
- A new public art trail, led by artist Tom Duffy, creating a consistent identity throughout the precinct
- Clearer wayfinding to help make it easier to move between destinations
"The Campbelltown Health and Education Precinct is an important part of Campbelltown, with thousands of people travelling through the area every day. This project will make the precinct easier to use and help people get to where they need to go without having to rely on a car," said Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Darcy Lound.
"Whether you're working, studying, visiting family in hospital or accessing health services, these improvements will make it easier to move between the places that are a part of everyday life in Campbelltown," said Cr Lound.
"This is a busy and important part of our city, with many members of our community passing through every day. These improvements will make a real difference by better connecting the precinct and making the area easier to navigate," said Member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren MP
"Best outcomes will always be achieved by working together, and this is another example of council and the NSW Government working together to deliver for Campbelltown," said Mr Warren.
Construction will be staged to help minimise disruption to businesses, residents and visitors, with a scheduled completion by mid-2027.
The Campbelltown Health and Education Precinct Connectivity, Wayfinding and Identify Project is proudly funded by the NSW Government through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program.
