Our roads, our focus

We're committed to improving MidCoast roads

Providing safe driving conditions on our 3,574km road network, and 542 bridges, remains our number one priority.

In 2016, a $30million roadworks package was established using funds identified as a result of the merger

In 2017, we received exemption from the NSW Government to apply for a Special Rate Variation specifically targeting our transport network

In 2018, the SRV was leveraged to secure a $100million roadworks package, made up of $50million delivered through the SRV matched with $50million secured from the State Government

The result is an unprecedented level of investment in improving our transport network, focusing on the roads that connect our communities. Locals will already be enjoying smoother, safer roads, with significant and important works continuing across the region for the next four years and beyond.
