Transurban Corporate Report FY25 Stakeholders
Catering to growing populations With populations projected to grow by up to 38% in our markets by 2045, 1 population growth and the pressure it places on infrastructure is front of mind for our government partners. In Australia, almost 30% of the country’s population is expected to live within 15 minutes of our assets by 2030. 1 And with so many more people and businesses expected to rely on our roads, we’re working with all levels of government to prepare. For example, in South East Queensland an additional 2.2 million people are expected in coming decades. 1 To prepare for this growth, we’re working with the Queensland Government to submit a proposal to upgrade the western section of the Logan Motorway. Community consultation with key stakeholders, including local communities, environmental groups and the freight industry, began in FY25. These groups were invited to learn more about the proposed project and provide their feedback. Stakeholder consultation will continue as the project’s planning and development progresses. With the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games approaching, Transurban provided feedback to the Queensland Government’s 100-Day Review of Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Infrastructure. 2 Our roads will play a central role in connecting the games route network, providing crucial transport links between sporting venues, the Athletes Village, Brisbane Airport, the Port of Brisbane and beyond. Following the 100-Day Review, we were pleased to see Gateway Motorway interchange upgrades listed as a supported project in the Queensland Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan, and we’re looking forward to engaging further with government to progress the next steps. 3
Case study Supporting the opening of Sydney Gateway
The final stage of the NSW Government’s Sydney Gateway project opened in FY25, creating a direct connection between WestConnex and Sydney Airport. The five kilometres of new motorway improves access to Sydney Airport for our customers, saving an estimated 17 minutes 2 on a round trip between the airport and the St Peters Interchange, which connects to the M8 and the main routes to Western Sydney, the M5 and M4. Transurban provided crucial support to the NSW Government and Transport for NSW in delivering the project and preparing motorists for use of the new connection. Our experts provided project delivery, engineering, information technology systems (ITS), compliance, safety, and communications support, to ensure that motorists had a seamless experience interchanging between Sydney Gateway and WestConnex from day one. Transurban CEO Michelle Jablko celebrated the ribbon cutting alongside NSW Government Ministers, MPs, Sydney Airport representatives, contractors, and team members who have been working on this project for four years. Motorists joining the motorway network at Campbelltown, Liverpool, Penrith or Parramatta now have a traffic-light-free run all the way to the domestic terminal and just one traffic light into the international terminal at Sydney Airport. Sydney Gateway also provides an alternative route for up to 10,000 trucks per day travelling to the airport and Port Botany, reducing the number of trucks on local streets in and around Mascot.
