Residents of Jordan Springs East have waited many years for an additional access point into and out of the community. The long promised connector road (Winnamatta Parkway / East West Connector Road), intended to link Jordan Springs with St Marys North and Ropes Crossing, was originally expected to be delivered years ago. It remains incomplete, with no confirmed delivery date provided to residents.

As a result, the community continues to rely on a single road for entry and exit. This sole access route is now subject to major road and bridge works, increasing congestion, delays, and safety risks for residents, visitors, school traffic, and essential service providers.

Jordan Springs East is surrounded almost entirely by bushland. In the event of a bushfire, natural disaster, or medical emergency, there is currently no alternative evacuation route. Emergency services access may be significantly restricted, placing lives and property at risk. These risks are further compounded by the construction of Jordan Springs High School, which will significantly increase traffic in an area already constrained by limited infrastructure.

Completion of the connector road would deliver critical benefits by:

• Providing a vital second access and evacuation route
• Improving emergency services response capability
• Reducing congestion and improving road safety
• Cutting travel times to St Marys and creating a direct route
• Creating easier access to the new Western Sydney Metro system once completed
• Supporting current and future growth in the area

Despite its clear strategic importance and long standing commitments, the connector road remains unfinished, with ongoing delays and no transparent or publicly communicated construction timeline.

This is no longer an inconvenience. It is a public safety issue.

We call on Penrith Council, the NSW Government, and all responsible authorities to:

• Commit to the immediate commencement and completion of the connector road (Winnamatta Parkway)
• Deliver a guaranteed second access point for Jordan Springs East
• Publish clear and transparent infrastructure timelines
• Prioritise resident safety, emergency access, and evacuation planning

Excuses and delays have gone on far too long. Jordan Springs East residents are no longer asking for explanations. We are asking for action.
