The NSW Government has committed $3 million to continue planning to upgrade Goonoo Goonoo Road (New England Highway) between Jack Smyth Drive and Calala Lane in Tamworth. The upgrade will ensure faster and smoother journeys for more than 20,000 vehicles that use this section of road each day.
Transport for NSW has been carrying out investigation work to remove a pinch point from Tamworth’s road network, providing easier access for those visiting the city’s entertainment and equestrian precinct. The improvements along this section of Goonoo Goonoo Road will increase capacity, improve safety and traffic flow, support planned development in this area and facilitate both local access and regional connectivity. The work Transport has been carrying out includes refining the concept design and preparing the Review of Environmental Factors. A number of specialist studies have been carried out as part of this work.
Following the previous public display of the draft concept design, Transport has reviewed the submissions and acted on a number of comments provided. These have been reflected in the refined concept design and REF now being displayed for comment.
Community consultation on the refined concept design and review of environmental factors (REF) is now closed.
More information about the project can be found in the November 2021 Project Update in the documents section on this page or you can download the review of environmental factors and design maps here.
