Councils asked to have their say on a better system for managing NSW roads

The NSW Government is moving ahead with plans to improve management and maintenance of NSW roads by developing a new system for roads to be recategorised and run by appropriate authorities.

A proposed new system developed by Transport for NSW aims to make it easier for road managers such as councils to access data about road usage and function in a transparent way so it can be used to help make evidence-based decisions about who should have responsibility for roads.

Transport for NSW is now seeking feedback and collaboration from road managers to ensure that this new approach is sound and provides the transparent solution needed.

New guidance notes to outline the process and other key considerations have now been released to road managers for review and feedback ahead of further consultation in 2025.
