Feedback was received between 25 November 2020 and 14 February 2021, this feedback will help inform further project development. All feedback will be considered and issues and questions raised by the community will be addressed in a consultation report.

We will undertake further investigations to inform the concept design and environmental assessment phase of the proposal.

There will be further opportunities for the community and stakeholders to provide feedback as the project progresses.

We are also carrying out additional traffic data collection throughout Milton, Ulladulla, Burrill Lake and Lake Tabourie over the summer holiday period to assess how the anticipated increase in visitation impacts the transport network.

We would like to thank the community for taking the time to provide their feedback so far.

Following community feedback provided in March and April 2020, a number of bypass options were developed, these included:

• bypassing Milton and Ulladulla
• extending the bypass to include Milton, Ulladulla and Burrill Lake
• Further extending the bypass to include Lake Tabourie.

The options were evaluated and on balance the existing corridor in the Shoalhaven LEP was found to best achieve the objectives of the project and Princes Highway upgrade program.

This option would maximise the amount of traffic using the bypass, including heavy vehicles, and provide the most opportunities to connect to town centres, businesses, services, homes and local roads compared to other options assessed. This would provide smoother and more reliable journeys day-to-day throughout the community. It would also provide opportunities to enhance the character and liveability of the area, support sustainable economic growth and improve safety for transport users. This option would have lower impacts to environmentally sensitive areas, avoiding greater impacts to native vegetation and wetlands.

Our plan for the Princes Highway is for safer, more reliable and better connected journeys to the Victorian border. Transport for NSW is planning further work to understand the future needs and performance of the Princes Highway south of the preferred strategic corridor. This will include consideration of improvements as part of the Burrill Lake to Batemans Bay upgrade project.

We are inviting feedback on the preferred strategic corridor option to help develop the project. Complete the online survey.

Have your say by 14 February 2021.

We would like to thank everyone who considered the project and provided their feedback during the consultation period. The feedback received will be used during our investigations to develop and refine potential bypass corridor options prior to identifying a preferred bypass corridor.

We would like to thank the community for participating and providing their feedback during this development phase of the project.

On Monday 6 April 2020, we held a 30 minute Facebook Live session with Princes Highway Program Director, Paul Vecovski, and Milton Ulladulla bypass Project Manager, Nicole Stevenson, to answer your questions about the project.
