Project information

Background

The NSW Government has committed to installing noise barriers along two sections of the Princes Highway, near Windsor Drive and Huntingdale Park Road in Berry.

While the noise mitigation measures already in place at this location are performing as intended and current noise levels meet the requirements of the NSW Environment Protection Authority and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Transport for NSW is doing more to address the concerns of the community.
