2031 Sydney Transport Blueprint, 2009
In 2009 the Sydney Morning Herald revealed plans for a Sydney Transport Blueprint which the deposed NSW Premier Nathan Rees was to release in December 2009. The proposal was to include:
- the West Metro from Westmead to the city
- a metro to the south-eastern suburbs of Randwick, Kensington, the UNSW, Kingsford and Maroubra.
- a heavy rail link to the Hills District in the north-west.
- completing the missing rail link between Parramatta and Epping.
- a metro from Olympic Park to Hurstville.
- a CityRail CBD relief line under the city.
- Radial transport links into Parramatta.
The proposals were to cost $180 billion over 25 years. In late 2009, Nathan Rees was deposed by Kristina Keneally casting doubt upon the blueprint.

“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
