The Minns Labor Government is continuing work to address traffic concerns at one of Sydney's worst intersections while retaining a police station in the Revesby area that is currently on the corner of the intersection.
The corner of River Road and Marco Avenue has been ranked as the 6th most confusing intersection in Sydney and has been the site of many car crashes and near misses, including the tragic death of a young man in a car crash.
Due to the location of the Revesby Police Station on the intersection it may not be possible to address issues with the intersection without relocating the police station.
As a result, at the 2023 state election, the Member for East Hills Kylie Wilkinson committed to working with the local council and the Federal Government who have committed funding to fix the intersection.
This commitment included the possible relocation of Police Station while keeping it in the Revesby area, acknowledging the critical role this station and it's officers play keeping this community safe.
The current Member for East Hills, Kylie Wilkinson is now working with all levels of government to finally fix this intersection and keep Revesby Police Station in the Revesby area.
For 12 years, the former Liberal and National Government failed to address this issue with the former Member for East Hills completely missing in action on this while in parliament.
Disappointingly the former Liberal Member who is now a Councillor has resorted to spreading misinformation in the community by falsely claiming that Revesby is set to lose a police station.
The Minns Labor Government is working to deliver a real solution by fixing this nightmare intersection while also maintaining a Police Station in the area.
Police Minister Yasmin Catley said:
"For too long this intersection outside Revesby Police Station has put lives at risk and I am proud that our government is working with council and the federal government to upgrade this intersection while retaining a police station in the Revesby area.
"It's very disappointing that this Liberal councillor is spreading misinformation and playing politics with our police, all to stop a much needed upgraded to this dangerous intersection.
Member for East Hills, Kylie Wilkinson said:
"We shouldn't have to choose between safe roads and a safe community. That's why we're fixing this dangerous and confusing intersection while keeping a police station in the Revesby area.
"I've lost count of the number of people who have spoken to me about how dangerous this intersection is and I call on all local councillors to join us in fixing this issue once and for all.
