A win for the Illawarra in the 2021-2022 Federal Budget

Fantastic news and a big win for the Illawarra in the 2021-2022 Federal Budget handed down last night, with $240 million funding allocated for the Mount Ousley Interchange, supporting enhanced trade links between Port Kembla and Greater and Western Sydney. 

NSW Ports has worked with Business Illawarra and other key Illawarra First members including the University of Wollongong to advocate for this vital road project, which will improve the safety, efficiency and productivity of the corridor and improve access to and from Port Kembla for heavy vehicles.

The funding announcement follows the NSW Government’s announcement in November of $21 million for planning the project. 
 
These key infrastructure projects will support Port Kembla as the port of growth and will help facilitate its development as the next container terminal for NSW.
