Catching public transport is now easier and more convenient for commuters in Sydney's south-west following the official opening of the new Revesby Commuter Car Park.
The Liberal and Nationals Government has delivered more than 14,000 commuter car spaces across Sydney since 2011 with around 4000 additional spaces on the way.
Minister for Transport, Veterans and Western Sydney David Elliott today officially opened the new car parking spaces with Member for East Hills, Wendy Lindsay.
Mr Elliott said major upgrade works to construct additional levels to the existing Revesby multi-storey commuter car park, delivered commuters access to more than 375 new car parking spaces, including nine accessible.
"Commuter car parks play a critical role in improving access to public transport and delivering a more convenient and seamless journey, particularly in middle and outer metropolitan areas like Revesby," Mr Elliott said.
"This project is being delivered as part of the Commuter Car Park Program which has committed more than $351 million over the next four years to provide more convenient access to public transport at key interchanges."
Member for East Hills, Wendy Lindsay said the construction of hundreds of additional parking spaces delivered a significant improvement for commuters within the community.
"Key benefits of the upgrade works include extension of the lifts, stairs and internal ramps to the additional upper levels, additional accessible parking spaces, Park&Ride boom gates and provision for future electric vehicle charging spaces," Ms Lindsay said.
"The project required 3504 cubic metres of concrete and 437 tonnes of steel with a total of 86,300 hours of work carried out by 900 workers across the lifespan of this project."
Other features include rooftop solar panels as well as CCTV, lighting and wayfinding for improved safety and security.
The Liberal and Nationals Government has also committed more than $350 million over the next four years to see the delivery of more than 2000 additional car parking spaces for the surrounding communities in Beverly Hills, Como, Emu Plains, Edmondson Park North and Riverwood.
