Transport for NSW wants the truck industry’s views on potential locations for a new Western Sydney heavy vehicle rest area through an online survey up until October 1
Transport for NSW is seeking feedback from the road freight industry about rest stopping needs in Western Sydney to help shape future proposals.
The NSW Government says it recognises the need for more heavy vehicle rest stops in NSW, including within the Western Sydney area, and is committed to improving the quantity and quality of heavy vehicle rest stops in NSW in collaboration with the road freight industry.
That’s where truck drivers, owner-drivers and transport company owners can help.
To explore options for a proposed rest area, Transport for NSW is seeking feedback from the road freight industry and heavy vehicle drivers on a number of issues, including potential locations in Western Sydney, services and amenities to meet current and future rest stopping needs, services or amenities the road freight industry would be willing to consider entering a user pays model, and oversize, overmass and dangerous goods considerations for rest stopping in Western Sydney.
