Project information
Background
Transport for NSW has completed preliminary investigations for the Fingal Bay Link Road. As part of the early investigation phase, three route options were developed and the community were invited to comment on the project.
The preliminary investigations identified a range of environmental constraints and concerns associated with building a new road through Tomaree National Park. These include serious and long-lasting impacts on the nine threatened species, such as koalas, that are within the National Park, loss of preferred koala habitat and impact on Aboriginal culture and heritage values.
There are also concerns that the project would create a danger to public safety around bushfires and particularly the risks associated with vehicle access through heavily wooded bushland and National Parks during natural disasters.
Preliminary economic analysis of the link road options indicated that the project costs outweighed the benefits.
Next steps
No further planning or investigations are currently proposed for the project.
