The Princes Highway at Bulli and Lawrence Hargrave Drive at Thirroul provide key travel routes between Wollongong, its northern suburbs and Sydney. The town centres at Bulli and Thirroul are experiencing increased road traffic and demand for access to the town centres.
More informationA number of options to improve safety, traffic flow and ease congestion have been developed following feedback from businesses, community members, key stakeholders and visitors during community consultation in late 2019.
To ensure the transport network continues to meet the needs of the growing population, we are proposing a number of options to help ease congestion and create more reliable journeys through Bulli and Thirroul, while ensuring the look and feel of the townships are maintained.
We are seeking feedback from the community on the options that have been developed.
