In a bold move to address a pressing concern, Lake Macquarie residents have extended a formal invitation to the NSW Premier, urging a personal visit to witness firsthand the critical challenges facing the region. The focus of this call to action lies on the Wrights Road to Lake Road stretch of the Oxley Highway, a segment under the jurisdiction of the NSW Government.
Mayor Adam Roberts of Lake Macquarie has spearheaded this initiative, emphasizing the dire need for intervention in what is recognized as the area’s most significant traffic bottleneck. The Mayor’s proactive approach includes direct engagement with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and Regional Transport and Roads Minister, Jenny Aitchison, to advocate for urgent planning and funding support.
Expressing his frustration with the lack of urgency from the NSW Government in addressing the longstanding congestion issue, Mayor Roberts highlights the growing demands placed on Lake Macquarie’s infrastructure due to the region’s rapid expansion. He stresses that immediate action is imperative to alleviate traffic flow and mitigate congestion effectively.
As the spotlight shifts to Lake Macquarie, residents await a tangible response from Premier Minns, hopeful that a site visit will catalyze tangible solutions and establish a roadmap for long-term improvements. The pressure is on the government to prioritize the well-being of Lake Macquarie’s community and ensure a smoother journey ahead.
