Let there be light – as the M12 Motorway nods to a bright new future!

Motorists driving along Elizabeth Drive may notice some dazzling new light installations placed under the new M12 Motorway overbridge.

Testing is currently underway at the M12 Motorway bridge over Elizabeth Drive near Mamre Road, Kemps Creek.

The feature lighting will not only provide safety for motorists as it highlights the infrastructure but will also enhance the driver experience through an array of colours and shapes projected onto the bridge undercarriage.

The lighting under the bridge features star-themed elements, including architectural pier lighting to showcase the form and structure of the bridge.

Continuing the theme, various sections along the M12 Motorway will light up in stages, such as the retaining wall along Warami Drive which will act as the gateway into the new Western Sydney International Airport.

For visitors and residents arriving or departing to and from the Airport, the toll-free M12 Motorway will be the first thing you see at night, with the M12 lighting up your journey as you get to your destination!

The feature lighting at the M12 Motorway bridge over Elizabeth Drive will illuminate permanently from early November 2025 with Warami Drive to 'light up' when access into the Airport is ready for passengers.

The toll-free M12 Motorway is a 16 kilometre road which will connect to the new airport in 2026 and includes some improvements along Elizabeth Drive. The $2.1 billion project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.

Camden Meals on Wheels

Camden Meals on Wheels cares for their community and is proud to support people’s independence and social engagement. Many perceive them as a meal service and whilst they do offer a diverse menu, they also provide transport services and social support services to eligible community members across the entire Camden Local Government Area (LGA).

Subsidised meals are available for seniors through their Government funded packages, however their meal service is accessible for anyone residing in the Camden LGA not receiving a Government funded package. The cost of the meals include delivery, so their meals are an affordable option for anyone that requires assistance in this way. They have over 100 options and cater for modified diets and allergies. Meals are delivered frozen or hot by one of their friendly volunteers. As their motto states, they are “More than just a Meal” as no meal is left personally unreceived and deliveries act as a welfare check.

Their transport services and individual social support services and activities are available for seniors across the Camden LGA receiving a Government funded package. They can get you to where you need to go and back for a small fee and provide transportation outside the Camden LGA. Their individual social support services and activities can be tailored to meet your needs, or you can join in at their in-house or community activities.

All their services are delivered by their team of dedicated volunteers. They are always looking for new volunteers and encourage anyone in the community who is interested in volunteering to get in touch with them to have a chat about how to become involved. All volunteers undergo an induction and receive ongoing training.

Get in touch today on (02) 4655 6822 or via [email protected] to discuss their services and volunteering opportunities today!

Double demerits in place for safer roads this Anzac Day long weekend

Motorists are reminded to slow down and follow the road rules as double demerits are back in place tor all speeding, seatbelt, illegal mobile phone use, and motorcycle helmet offences from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 April for the Anzac Day long weekend.
Roads across the state are expected to be busy as people attend Anzac Day events, travel out of town to make the most of the long weekend, and make their way home ahead of school resuming.

Transport for NSW Transport for NSW Executive Director Transport Safety, Chadi Chalhoub said it's important that we all do our part to keep our roads safe for everyone travelling and ensure that everyone returns home safely.

“Road safety is a shared responsibility, and I urge all motorists to make safe decisions this long weekend. One bad decision on the road can cost you more than double demerits – it could cost a life.

“Sadly, six people died on our roads during the double demerit period for the Anzac Day long weekend last year,” Mr Chalhoub said.

“We don’t want more families to lose their loved ones so be vigilant and always allow extra time to travel even for short trips.

“If you’re travelling on regional roads, be sure to take regular breaks and watch out for animals on the road,” Mr Chalhoub said.

During this time, double demerits will apply to all speeding, seatbelt, illegal mobile phone use, and motorcycle helmet offences.

Motorists are also encouraged to plan ahead by checking the Live Traffic NSW App for the latest updates before you travel or use our journey planning tool on our website https://www.myjourneynsw.info/

REDISCOVER THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS – NEWLIFE ANGLICAN ORAN PARK

Article Written+Submitted by: Lead Pastor Stuart Starr

Do you remember when Christmas used to be fun? Maybe it involved sneaking down the hallway and under the tree to shake a few presents before the adults got up. Maybe it was the pleasure of having the house full of friends and family. Or maybe the fun of Christmas was all in the glorious food that came in great mounds. Surely the crowning happiness for any kid was frantically ripping away the paper to find the latest toy or game now safely in your hands at last.

When does Christmas lose its fun? Maybe it’s a long drive to that relative’s place on a blazing hot day. Perhaps it’s because you now have to cook the food that you used to only have to consume. Or, heaven forbid, the challenge of dealing with the crowds and shopping for that present that is now out of stock everywhere. Perhaps it’s just when you become an adult.

Christians believe that as good as many of those childhood memories are, there is joy to be had at Christmas for adults too. That joy comes from knowing that at its heart Christmas is more than turkeys and wrapping paper - it is in fact a celebration of God making the first move towards us.

The Bible tells us that the baby born in Bethlehem is much more than meets the eye. His names make this clear. Firstly, ‘Jesus’ means “God saves.” Secondly, ‘Emmanuel’ means, “God with us.” The one born in a shed and laid in manger is the living God come to rescue us from our sins and become our companion in life. We’d be delighted to share a joy that lasts beyond the bon-bons - to knowing our sins can be forgiven and our lives can be filled with the love of God for eternity to come.

To hear more join us for Carols on the lawn out the front of our church on Central Avenue from 5pm on Sunday Dec 15th. Then on Christmas Eve (24th) in our family service at 5pm, or our evening service at 11pm, or on Christmas Day (25th) at 9am. Rediscover real joy this Christmas - kids *and adults* are warmly invited.
