Woy Woy Road has received $1.6 million through the Federal Labor Government’s 2025-26 Black Spot Program funding.

The Black Spot Program funds safety measures such as traffic lights, safety barriers, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings at locations where a number of serious crashes have occurred or are at risk of occurring.

The project was recommended by the Black Spot Consultative Panel in NSW. This panel is comprised of local stakeholders who are best placed to ensure nominations of the highest priority and importance to the local community are recommended for approval.

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“I welcome the announcement that Woy Woy Road will receive $1.6 million in federal funding for the implementation of safety improvements.

“As many people in our community know, Woy Woy Road has seen many serious crashes over the years.

“Alongside our community, I launched a petition last year calling on all levels of government to work together towards a solution.

“The Federal Labor Government has listened and will provide $1.6 million for safety improvements through the 2025-26 Black Spot Program.

“This funding will be provided to the NSW Government and Transport for NSW, who are the responsible authorities that will undertake the work, and will need to complete the work over the next three years.”

Quotes attributable to Woy Woy Resident, Mr Paul Walker:

“This funding is a welcome outcome following events that affected my wife and family last year on Woy Woy Road.

“These safety improvements are a positive start, and as a community we need to keep advocating for a safer Woy Woy Road, so no other person or family have to experience what we have.”
