M6 Stage 2
Is Your Land Being Acquired for the M6 Extension Project?
If your home or business is subject to land acquisition for the M6 Extension project, you may have questions about your rights and the process ahead. If you’re facing a compulsory acquisition, understanding the steps involved and ensuring fair treatment and compensation is vital to protect your interests.
What is the M6 Extension Project?
The M6 Stage 1 (formerly known as the F6 Extension Stage 1) is the initial phase of the proposed M6 project, linking the M8 Motorway at Arncliffe to President Avenue at Kogarah. As part of a larger plan to improve connectivity in southern Sydney, this section of road is essential for easing traffic flow and supporting local communities.
Future sections of the M6 project are planned, with Section B potentially extending from Kogarah to Taren Point, passing through Carlton and Sans Souci, and Section C likely continuing from Taren Point to the A1 Princes Highway in Loftus. While there are no confirmed timelines, funding, or planning approvals for Sections B and C at this stage, the road corridor for these sections has been reserved since 1951, ensuring the potential for further development.
