M1 go-slow could get worse: transport upgrades needed for Shellharbour's 5700 new homes

Transport Upgrades Needed for Shellharbour's New Homes

A business group has stated that the government's promise of new homes must come with necessary infrastructure.

The proposed 5700 new homes in Shellharbour could put pressure on Illawarra roads, particularly the M1 at Dapto, which is already a go-slow area during peak times.

The state government plans to fast-track rezonings of land near the new Shellharbour Hospital and city centre, including the TAFE and old hospital site, to accommodate the new homes.

Infrastructure is necessary to support the new homes.
