The NSW Government has accelerated the delivery of $298,239 to undertake a pothole and road repair blitz on the state road network across the Central Coast, as part of its ongoing work to build better infrastructure for New South Wales.
It comes after NSW Government funding saw 184,000 potholes across regional communities filled during 2024/25.
The State Government continues investing in road infrastructure in the regions to build a stronger, more resilient network for NSW communities.
In addition to the accelerated state network pothole and road repair blitz, $147 million of funding through block grants – $3.2 million more than last year – has been committed to helping regional councils struggling with high road maintenance costs, with Central Coast Council allocated $8,130,104 over two years.
NSW Minister for Roads and Minister for Regional Transport, Jenny Aitchison, said that the people and businesses of NSW rely on the road network.
“I am incredibly proud of the work being done by Transport for NSW teams as well as local councils to make our entire network safer and more reliable,” Aitchison said.
“Long after storms or bushfires pass, recovery continues for our teams. Whether plugging potholes or undertaking massive multi-year infrastructure rebuilds, the work never ends.”
NSW Minister for the Central Coast and the Member for Wyong, David Harris, said that this funding will ensure the Central Coast and all regional communities get their fair share of state road maintenance investment in the regions, which will total up to $1.25 billion this financial year.
“Up to $298,239 of this fast-tracked funding has been allocated to the Central Coast to make our state roads safer, more reliable and fairer – because every community deserves roads they can depend on to get to work, school and home,” Harris said.
“This money boosts the allocation to state roads on the Coast of up to $51,707,647 to deliver more priority repair work.”
