How we are advocating for priority infrastructure upgrades for the region
It is widely acknowledged transport is the biggest issue across the SHOROC region.
Numerous studies have shown we have some of the slowest major roads in Sydney if not Australia.
Traffic congestion, lack of efficient public transport and heavy reliance on cars is a huge problem.
With little to no major government funding in decades, our ageing transport infrastructure is beyond its limits and congestion is only set to worsen with population growth to increase by 11% over the next 20 years.
Our campaign for better public transport and roads
So the SHOROC councils decided to take the lead.
To develop a plan and deliver a Mayor-led campaign for better public transport and roads as part of the Shaping Our Future strategy.
The campaign called on the NSW and Commonwealth governments to invest in:
- Public transport: Construction of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) public transport system from Mona Vale to the CBD and from Dee Why to Chatswood.
- Targeted road upgrades: for Warringah Road, the Wakehurst Parkway, Mona Vale Road and construction of the Northern Beaches Link.
