Milton-Ulladulla bypass plans released for public feedback

Member for South Coast Shelley Hancock said the release of the plans gives the community the chance to help shape the vision for a safer, more reliable and more efficient Princes Highway along the South Coast.

"In this period of community consultation, we hope to hear from those that live, work and travel in and around the South Coast so we can deliver the right solution," Mrs Hancock said.

"I encourage everyone in the community to share their views either online or at one of the many community consultation sessions that will be held over the coming weeks.

"The planned upgrades are a huge win for the people of the South Coast. Upgrades will improve safety, ease congestion and return local roads to local communities."

In November 2019, Mrs Hancock said she couldn't see any reason why the bypass can't start within 12 to 18 months. She expected construction to start in 2021.

Residents will have until April 13 to provide feedback on the bypass. The details can be found on www.princeshighway.nsw.gov.au.

The consultation will seek feedback on the identified corridor for the Milton Ulladulla bypass shown in the Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan.

A preferred route and future features of the bypass including the connections with the existing highway will be determined following community feedback and further investigations.

Community drop-in events will be held along the South Coast throughout March and April with locals encouraged to meet the program team.

A Princes Highway Progress Report card will also be released that highlights major upgrades being delivered.

The report card will showcase the Nowra Bridge project, Berry to Bomaderry upgrade, Albion Park Rail bypass and Batemans Bay Bridge replacement.

Several community consultation drop in session will be held in the coming weeks:
