The $32.8 million Far North Collector Road has received another funding boost, with an additional $2.4 million announced in the 2024 Federal Budget.

Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips said the 100 per cent Commonwealth-funded roadworks were being managed by Shoalhaven City Council and she was pleased to see the additional funds allocated to finish the job.

 “The Far North Collector Road has received considerable federal funding, but it is my understanding that, due to some recent construction complexities, additional work was needed to finish the road,” Mrs Phillips said.

“I requested the additional federal funding for council and I’m thrilled that it’s been secured and the road can now be completed.”

The Far North Collector Road links Illaroo Road at Bangalee to Moss Vale Road in Cambewarra.

The Federal Budget also includes an injection of $21.5 million to carry out the final works around the Nowra Bridge project
