State Route 50 (Decommissioned) (Cabramatta to Wallacia)

Now a defunct route, SR50 was designed as a road to feed traffic to the once proposed Badgery's Creek Airport. and was decommissioned in 1998.

The route's eastern terminus was the corner of the Hume Highway & Cabramatta Road at Cabramatta, which is in Sydney's southwest. On the western end, the terminus was the corner of Park, Mulgoa, Greendale & Silverdale Roads at Wallacia. Roads along the former route include Cabramatta Road, Elizabeth Drive, The Northern Road and Park Road. SR50 serviced towns and suburbs such as Cabramatta, Bonnyrigg, Kemps Creek, Badgery's Creek and Wallacia.
