A petition to fix Woy Woy Road has been launched by Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP.

The petition aims to address safety issues that have impacted the road following several motor vehicle accidents in recent years.

Dr Reid is urging all levels of government to commit resources to identify and implement solutions for this important thoroughfare connecting the Peninsula to the M1.

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

“Woy Woy Road is a vital link for residents living on the Peninsula and surrounding communities.

“In recent times, we have seen an increase in motor vehicle accidents along Woy Woy Road that have included fatalities.

“All levels of government cannot continue to overlook this issue; there needs to be long-term solutions implemented to address safety along this stretch of road.

“I have spoken directly to Central Coast Council, and representatives from the State and Federal Governments.

“I need local support for my petition so I can demonstrate to the various levels of government the concern that exists in our community for Woy Woy Road.

Quotes attributable to Tara Dibben, mother to the late Joshua Dibben who lost his life while driving on Woy Woy Road in 2023.

“My beautiful son Josh tragically lost his life on Woy Woy Road. He had just become a father. He was the best son a mum could ask for.

“A safety barrier would have saved his life. A barrier or any measure of safety improvement is urgently needed, so no other mum, family or friends have to go through this pain and suffering that I have had to endure since he left us.
