The SHOROC region of Sydney’s Northern Beaches – from Bradleys Head to Barrenjoey – needs better public transport, roads and health services now and for the future.
Adopted in September 2010, the Shaping Our Future “major Infrastructure” strategy has been developed by Manly, Mosman, Pittwater and Warringah councils to address this need.
The strategy identifies the priorities are rapid buses, road upgrades and a new Hospital for the Northern Beaches region. It calls for investment from the state and commonwealth government now to fix our transport and health systems and enable our councils to ensure growth is sustainable in our region.
The key priorities are:
- Immediate construction of the level 5 Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest while maintaining and upgrading Mona Vale Hospital in a long term complementary role.
- Constructing a Bus Rapid Transit system for fast reliable public transport from Mona Vale to the city and from Dee Why to Chatswood.
- Road upgrades for Warringah Road particularly the intersections with Wakehurst Parkway and Forest Way, for Mona Vale Road and for the Wakehurst Parkway.
Committments made from the NSW Government for this funding plus more detail can be found at:
