Road Number and Name Changes in NSW Road number and name changes in NSW A better way to navigate NSW roads A25 Barton Highway The current route marking system in NSW is 30 years old and needs an overhaul. From early 2013, we will introduce a new road numbering system and new names for some important routes across the state network. The system will include a combination of a letter - either an M (motorway), A (route of national significance) orB (route of state significance) - and a umbern from 1 to 99. This factsheet details the changes across NSW.

The route will however retain the alpha numeric route marker M31. Twelve marked routes cross the border from NSW into neighbouring States. In all cases, the route number will remain the same, although the alpha marker may change if the standard of road differs across the border.

  • MEDIA STATEMENT 29 July 2019 Australia's Major Highway Now a Conveyor Belt for Big Trucks
    MEDIA STATEMENT 29 July 2019 Media contact: Paul Hitchins 0419 315 001 Australia’s major highway now a conveyor belt for big trucks 700,000 B-double truck trips on Hume Highway each year Rail freight on its deathbed between Melbourne & Sydney In a disturbing development, Australia’s largest rail freight operator, Pacific National has declared rail freight is on its deathbed between Melbourne and Sydney. Pacific National CEO Dean Dalla Valle said less than 1 per cent of 20-million tonnes of palletised and containerised freight transported between Melbourne and Sydney is now hauled by trains. “Australia’s busiest freight corridor by volume has become a conveyor belt of 700,000 B-double equivalent return truck trips each year along the Hume Highway1,” said Mr Dalla Valle. Mr Dalla Valle said excessive government charges applied to rail freight services and a build-up of red tape2 is suffocating the haulage of goods by rail between Australia’s two biggest cities. “Bizarrely, at a time when Australians want safer roads, less traffic congestion during their daily commute3, reduced vehicle emissions, and properly maintained roads4, government policies are geared to rolling out bigger and heavier trucks5 on more roads,” said Mr Dalla Valle. A 2016 report by Australian Automobile Association ranked sections of the Hume Highway as some of the nation’s most dangerous roads6, while a 2017 Deloitte Access Economics report found, for every tonne of freight hauled a kilometre, trucks produce 14 times greater accident costs than trains7. Mr Dalla Valle said trucks may not be the root cause of most accidents, but the sheer size, weight and momentum of a truck crashing with a car often results in casualties or fatalities.

  • Submission on Future Transport 2056
    1 SUBMISSION ON FUTURE TRANSPORT 2056 Greater Sydney Services & Infrastructure Plan Trunk Corridors An important corridor that is conspicuous by its absence, compared with previous transport studies, is a direct link between Macquarie Park and Parramatta. These are two of the largest strategic employment centres in the metropolitan area and it beggars belief that it’s not considered important enough to warrant inclusion as a major trunk route. Perhaps this is a consequence of the Greater Sydney Commission’s proposal to truncate the Global Economic Corridor Arc at Macquarie Park, instead of the previous strategy of extending it to Parramatta. A retrograde step in my view. Previous Metropolitan Planning Strategies had stressed the importance of investigating improved transport links between Macquarie Park and Parramatta, but this now appears to have slipped off the radar. This should be reinstated. Future Networks Initiatives for Investigation (10-20 Years) – South - East Mass Transit Link In addition to a South - East Mass Transit link, an extension of the Eastern Suburbs Railway should be investigated from Bondi Junction to North Bondi via Bondi Road, and Bondi Beach, with a branch to Bronte Beach via Charing Cross and Bronte. The potential capacity of the ESR is grossly underutilised and these extensions would assist in increasing patronage as well as relieving road congestion. 2 Parramatta to Epping/Macquarie Park Mass Transit Link The Parramatta to Epping Mass Transit link investigation should also include consideration of an alternative route from Parramatta to Macquarie Park via Eastwood. The focus on this corridor should be on a direct link between Parramatta and Macquarie Park, which will be the major trip generators.

  • Gwdir Shire Tourism Plan 2006 - 2011 1
    GWDIR SHIRE TOURISM PLAN 2006 - 2011 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Gwydir Shire is located on the western slopes and plains in north-western NSW. The Shire covers an area of 9122 square kilometres and lies between the New England Tablelands in the east and Moree - Narrabri to the west, and extends from the Bruxner Highway close to the Queensland border south to the Nandewar Range. The Shire has a population of 5,790 people. Warialda (population 1,750) and Bingara (pop 1,390) are the main towns within the Shire. These towns are located approximately 40km apart, with Bingara servicing the southern areas of the Shire, and Warialda the northern areas. There are also six villages, Warialda Rail (pop 100), Crooble (pop 40), Gravesend (pop 205), Upper Horton (pop<150), Croppa Creek (pop 120), Coolatai (pop 130) and North Star (pop 200). With the exception of Warialda Rail, the villages are relatively remote from the two main towns. The Shire draws its name from the Gwydir River which drains most of the southern and central areas of the Shire, with Bingara located on the Gwydir River, and Warialda on Reedy Creek, one of the larger head-water tributaries of the Gwydir. Bingara is located on the Fossickers Way, a tourist route that extends from Nundle near Tamworth north to Warialda and then east along the Gwydir Highway to Glen Innes via Inverell. The Fossickers Way between Tamworth and Warialda is located approximately mid-way between two major interstate arterial routes, the New England Highway to the east and the Newell Highway to the west, with the Fossickers Way being a viable scenic alternative to these highways.

The Willoughby Traffic Committee is not a Committee of Willoughby City Council but a Technical Committee of the Roads and Maritime Services. Council has been delegated certain powers, from the Roads and Maritime Services, with regard to traffic matters upon its local roads. A condition of this delegation is that Council must take into account the Traffic Committee recommendations. There are four permanent members of the Traffic Committee, each of whom has a single vote only.
