Penrith City Council has welcomed the start of construction on Mamre Road – an upgrade that is set to enhance job opportunities and safety. The first stage of works on a 3.8 kilometre stretch of Mamre Road between the M4 Motorway, St Clair and Erskine Park Road, Erskine Park will see the road upgraded to a four lane divided road with a wide central median, and capacity to further expand in the future as needed. Penrith Mayor Todd Carney welcomed the upgrade saying Penrith City Council’s advocacy for improved infrastructure and safer roads is being realised. “I am immensely pleased that our advocacy has led to this point where we are seeing the road upgraded," said "Mamre Road is more than just a connection between the M4 and Elizabeth Drive; it represents a critical transport corridor serving new employment areas of industrial and logistics businesses with access to the Western Sydney Airport. “Looking ahead, we are eager for the commencement of Stage 2 and the total completion of Mamre Road extending all the way to Elizabeth Drive. “This extended infrastructure will further cement a commitment to building better infrastructure and safer roads for everyone,” Cr Carney said. The community is urged to be patient while construction is carried out. The successful completion of Mamre Road Stage 1 will bring long-term benefits and improved connectivity for all.

Penrith City Council is thrilled to bring home the Resource Recovery Award received yesterday at the Keep Australia Beautiful Sustainable Cities Awards. Awarded for the ‘We give a FUD – FOGO in Multi Unit Dwellings Rollout’ project, the recognition reinforces Penrith’s leadership in resource recovery and responsible waste management, something the whole community should be proud of. Encouraged by the community’s desire for resource recovery and the NSW Government’s 2030 Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) mandate, Penrith City Council introduced the FOGO service to Multi Unit Dwellings (MUDs) in June 2023. As of October 2024, the service has been rolled out to 7,920 households living in MUDs with over 150 tonnes of FOGO material diverted from landfill for composting. We’re on track to complete the rollout by early 2025, positioning Penrith as one of the first NSW Councils to offer separate collection of food and garden organics to all households in their LGA.

Delegates took advantage of Penrith's location within one of Australia's fastest growing regions by visiting nearby Western Sydney International Airport and the major freight and logistics hub at Oakdale West.
