$31 million to address Black Spots on New South Wales roads

Safety will be enhanced at 66 dangerous sites across New South Wales, with the Australian Government committing $31.9 million in 2023–24 to address known Black Spots.

The Black Spot Program improves safety at locations where crashes are occurring, or are risk of occurring, by funding treatments such as pedestrian crossings, guardrails and roundabouts.

Black Spot treatments help reduce serious injuries and deaths on our roads, and get people home safely.

Anyone can nominate a Black Spot for consideration. Consultative panels in each state and territory are responsible for considering nominations and recommending the highest priority sites for approval. 

The NSW panel includes representatives from Transport for NSW, the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia, the Traffic Management Association of Australia, Local Government NSW, the NRMA, the NSW Police Force, the Centre for Road Safety and the Federation of P&C Associations.

For more information on the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program, including how to nominate a black spot, visit investment.infrastructure.gov.au/funding/blackspots. A list of funded projects is available below.

Quotes attributable to Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Carol Brown:

“I am delighted to announce this funding to fix 66 dangerous spots on New South Wales roads.

“This major investment is part of the Australian Government’s commitment to building safer roads, reducing road trauma, and supporting local jobs.

“We have committed $110 million per year to the Black Spot Program to work with state, territory and local governments to improve road safety across the nation.

“I would also like to acknowledge the Liverpool and Eurobodalla Councils, who have made co-contributions to projects in their areas.”

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Gilmore and Chair of the New South Wales Black Spot Consultative Panel, Fiona Phillips:

“Every accident on our roads is one too many. I was pleased to recommend 66 sites across our State for these crucial road safety upgrades.

“This investment in Black Spot projects will deliver safer roads and safer journeys in New South Wales.

“I encourage anyone who knows of a dangerous intersection or road length that would benefit from safety improvements to consider nominating that site for investigation.”
