We are also investing quite heavily in

upgrade of Eagle Vale Drive to a dual

carriageway underway and about $2

to $3 million set aside for extending

Beverley Road into the Campbelltown

CBD.”

“In the following years, we propose

to spend an extra $6.5 to $8 million

per annum to reduce the backlog of

infrastructure works. We anticipate that

by 2025, we will not have any backlog.

Greater Sydney.”

Council is currently working on

sports fields and other areas, with a

focus on accommodating a range of

recreation and leisure experiences.
