Illawarra Shoalhaven regional transport planning
Overview
The NSW government has introduced the Illawarra Shoalhaven Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan (SRITP), a 20-year roadmap designed to manage significant regional growth. The plan anticipates an increase of 150,000 residents and 60,000 jobs by 2041.
To address these changes, the plan outlines approximately 40 to 47 initiatives across road, rail, active, and public transport networks. Key priorities include managing increased freight volumes—projected to reach 42 million tonnes annually by 2041—and improving public transport, such as more frequent bus services to support the new Shellharbour Hospital. The strategy also includes Transport Oriented Developments near stations in North Wollongong, Corrimal, and Dapto.
While the plan includes projects like south-facing M1 ramps at Dapto, it has faced criticism regarding a lack of commitment to upgrading Dunmore Road. NSW Regional Transport Minister Jenny Aitchison indicated that heavy truck movements and specific road upgrades would be managed through future commitments and ongoing discussions.
