Wakehurst Parkway Improvements

Transport prepared a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and a Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) for the proposal. These documents outline the potential environmental, social, economic and cumulative impacts during construction and operation.

Transport for NSW thanks the community and stakeholders who provided feedback during the project consultation period from 6 November to 20 December 2023.

Transport is currently considering all comments received and will respond to all feedback in a submissions report. We will keep the community informed as this project progresses. To stay up to date, please register for project updates by contacting northplace@transport.nsw.gov.au

Transport for NSW (Transport) proposes to carry out road improvements along Wakehurst Parkway between Frenchs Forest Road, Frenchs Forest and Pittwater Road, North Narrabeen. These include intersection upgrades and focus on improving safety and capacity for this key road link in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Sections of Wakehurst Parkway are subject to traffic congestion and have an extensive crash history. The proposal would help improve safety and travel time by improving the overall efficiency of the wider road network. 

Corridor improvements that are being investigated will aim to:

• improve road safety along the corridor 
• improve network efficiency 
• provide capacity for future traffic growth 
• consider improvements to active transport facilities    
• consider options to encourage use of public transport. 

We will carefully consider all feedback received and respond to issues raised in a Submissions Report. If approved, construction is planned to start in 2024 and will take about two years to complete, weather permitting.
