$80M FOR WYONG TOWN CENTRE ROADS
THE Australian Government is fast-tracking its commitment to upgrade one of the nation’s busiest highways, accelerating $80 million in funding to the Pacific Highway – Wyong Town Centre project.
The contribution will help the NSW Government to expedite delivery of this priority project on the Central Coast.
The $420M project will upgrade the Pacific Highway through Wyong, duplicating the highway between Johnson Road and Cutler Drive.
The existing Wyong River road bridge will also be replaced with two new road bridges, increasing clearance heights for River Road and South Tacoma Road.
The Australian Government is contributing $336M towards the project, with the NSW Government committing $84M.
The works are currently in the planning phase, with the delivery schedule to be determined as planning and development works progress.

FUNDS FOR AVOCA DRIVE UPGRADES
THE Australian Government has announced $70M in additional funding towards upgrading Avoca Drive.
The additional funding comes on top of the Albanese Government’s $30M election commitment, bringing the total Australian Government funding to $100M.
The Australian Government will partner with the NSW Government to deliver the project.
The project will improve safety and reduce congestion on Avoca Drive, including widening the section between Carrak Road and Killuna Road intersections.
This will create a safer road for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said; “The Australian Government is committed to improving road safety, through infrastructure projects across the Central Coast that will ensure the safety of our community is prioritised.
“This upgrade will greatly improve safety and reduce congestion on Avoca Drive, ensuring motorists get to their destination faster, and safer.”
