Although, the newly developed residential suburbs of Marsden Park and Elara are not in Mount Druitt, they are are within our surrounding suburbs. So, yes this is important to air public transport issues that affect suburbs outside our area, especially since these suburbs are with NSW Bus Region 1 - same as our suburbs.
How does this affect us? We have bus services running into area, within NSW Bus Region 1: from Blacktown and Penrith major cities. If proper bus services are implemented as new suburbs flourish, then this places pressure on the whole network of bus services within Bus Region 1. Even in area still requiring essential timed bus services in Bidwill and west Whalan. Here is a letter from Hon. Prue Car - NSW Member for Mount Druitt - is seeking the reviewing of buds service rerouting for improvement in Marsden Park- Elara areas - from the NSW Minister of Transport, Hon. Andrew Constance:
Yes, it is true there are free flu shots offered by a new Medical Centre, which is based at Marsden Park. I think is a great idea and think that other Medical Centres within Mount Druitt, should offer the same.
Just like you, I am shaking my head, why 'Marsden Park'? As I thought about it, it is a surrounding suburb around Mount Druitt. The question goes how far does surrounding go - as far as we claims is surrounding or on the outer surround of Mount Druitt.
The young lady handing out the flyer for the 'Ourmedicalhome, Marsden Park', was actually from Rooty Hill and said, "she will take her flu shots there".
So with the proposed Western Sydney Airport in Badgerys Creek, we spoke before how there needs to be proper infrastructure built to support the airport. It will be from roads, footpaths, communities and even new rail access routes interconnecting or looping into the Sydney Trains Rail network system.
There are a few options provide by Western Sydney Rail to provide rail routes to various current railway lines (as per below). Yet, I do think while we are talking, planning and discussing new rail networks. Let's actually put into place a major new railway network link straight away linking the Northwest Link and South Westlink though Marsden Park, Ropes Crossing, St Marys, providing that extra option for community members around my suggestion of this railway network link and then choose the below railway option routes for the Western Sydney Airport.
