Kamilaroi Highway rest area upgrade to encourage more breaks for drivers

Heavy vehicle drivers and other motorists will benefit from a $1.75 million upgrade to a rest area between Walgett and Brewarrina in north-west NSW, set to begin early in 2025.

The Australian and NSW governments are working together to improve the quantity and quality of heavy vehicle rest stops in consultation with the road freight industry.

The upgrade to the Yambie Lagoon Rest Area, about 60 kilometres east of Brewarrina on the Kamilaroi Highway, will encourage rest breaks for heavy vehicle drivers on long trips.
