Work starts the end of next week to deliver smoother journeys for motorists at the busy intersection of the Kingsway and Elouera Road at Cronulla.
The NSW Government will carry out the work, including widening Elouera Road, from Sunday 1 September until the end of the year.
The improvements are set to benefit around 20,000 motorists using the Kingsway every day, to keep people moving around Cronulla and the local area.
The upgrade includes a new right turn lane on Elouera Road, doubling capacity for commuters and easing congestion for motorists turning right onto the Kingsway.
This will particularly improve traffic flow in peak periods, and for vehicles experiencing delays in the through lane, heading from Elouera Road onto Gerrale Street.
The project will also improve safety for cyclists by installing an on-road cycle lane for southbound riders to link with existing cycle routes.
The community is thanked for its feedback so far, and will continue to be consulted as the project progresses.
Work will be carried out up to six days a week, between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday, and between 8am and 1pm on Saturdays. Work will also be carried out at night for five nights a week, between 8pm and 5am from Sunday to Thursday, weather permitting.
The NSW Government continues to work with Sutherland Shire Council, which is responsible for local parking spaces, to offset a reduction in parking spaces on Elouera Road.
There will be temporary traffic and parking changes during the work, to allow work to be completed safely and to set up a site compound in the car park at the corner of Mitchell Road, Prince Street and Bando Road.
The Bali Memorial will not be impacted by this work, and access to local shops, cafes and North Cronulla Beach will be maintained at all times.
The NSW Government is funding the project as part of its $100 million Congestion and Safety Program. For more information, visit the project page:

Quick quiz Mark Speakman: where do you think Olli Hoare grew up?
What is your transport policy? The current government has proposed nothing since winning government, only completing what the previous Berejiklan government started
Over the past days, we’ve seen a series of damning revelations about the construction union (the CFMEU), including direct threats from the NSW Secretary to expose the contents of secret meetings with Labor Ministers, MPs, and public servants. These revelations highlight a serious issue of transparency and accountability within the current government.
The Premier has consistently refused to take decisive action:
❌ Refusal to return donations from the CFMEU’s tainted money.
❌Allowing his MPs to remain members of the CFMEU.
❌Refusal to establish a Royal Commission to thoroughly investigate the scandal and hold those involved accountable.
❌Failure to refer the threats and allegations involving the CFMEU to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
The Opposition will keep pushing for transparency and integrity on these matters. ... See MoreSee Less

Please start announcing transport projects. Labor hasn't made any attempt to propose, plan and build any new metro or light lines since coming into power. We need at least an extension of the Eastern Suburbs Railway to Bondi Beach and light rail down Parramatta Rd

🌞 Good Afternoon, 😊 Congratulations, 🙏 HaVe A GrEaT DaY! #GreAt_PhOtOs, 👍 #Amazing_Work, #GreAt_LeAdeR👏
The government and opposition must resist NIMBY pressure and extend the rail to Bondi Beach. Improved public transport will reduce traffic congestion, boost local businesses, and provide better access for all. Prioritizing the greater good over local objections ensures a vibrant, connected community benefiting everyone.
Dominic Perrottet has left an indelible mark on our State.
His retirement marks the end of a political career defined by visionary leadership and unwavering dedication to the people of NSW. Dom’s contributions to financial management, transformational infrastructure and family support have set a high standard for future leaders.
I thank Dom for his tireless service and wish him all the best with his new role. I also wish Helen, Charlotte, Annabelle, Amelia, Harriet, Beatrice, William and Celeste all the best as they adjust to Dom and life after politics! ... See MoreSee Less

Definitely a negative mark on each of his electorates he managed and the state in general. Mark come to Epping to see how badly a suburb can be destroyed by incompetent members. Especially one who has been missing in action since the last election.
So please Mark …. Start making your voice heard …. You have so much to fire at Chris Minns we hear nothing from you on the news, we don’t vote labour and we deserve a much better governing state govt not one that is tied in with CFMEU , thank you cheers 🍻
Mark Speakman the NSW “equality” bill is dangerous in its entirety. We don’t need this legislation ever in Australia. Please form a great resistance and rejection of it. Thank you.

The NSW Opposition supports the Government’s decision to extend retail trading restrictions to cover all ANZAC Day, to give the service and sacrifices of veterans are appropriate recognition and honour, and to enable people to participate in commemorative services throughout the day.
RSL NSW President Mick Bainbridge, shadow veterans minister Robyn Preston MP and I chatted about this today. ... See MoreSee Less
