The NSW Minister for Planning approved the
M4-M5 Link project in April 2018.
The M4-M5 Link will be built in two stages:
1
Work will start later this year on the M4-M5
Link tunnels connecting the New M4 tunnels in
Haberfield with the New M5 tunnels in St Peters.
A Motorway Operations Complex at Campbell
Road, St Peters will also be constructed.
2
Procurement is underway for the Rozelle
Interchange and Iron Cove Link tunnels, which
will connect the M4-M5 Link to other sections of
the road network. Early work will start later this
year, with major work scheduled to start in 2019.
Property owners will be notified if they are within
50 metres of the tunnel alignment and offered
a property condition survey before and after
construction. This ensures a clear record of property
conditions before construction starts. Any damage
attributed to the project will be repaired at no cost
to the property owner. "...

1. Northcote Street, Haberfield (existing New M4 site)
2. Parramatta Road, Haberfield (Muirs)

* construct concrete elements for the Wstern Harbour Tunnel; and
* Transfer a small quantity of sediment from Sydney Harbour to the site for treatment then transport by road for safe disposal"..- source: leaflet dropped in Annandale Letterboxes about 11 May 2018
