AS ONE BRIDGE OPENS, ANOTHER BEGINS ITS RENEWAL: CLARENCE TOWN BRIDGE OPENS TO TRAFFIC
As one bridge opens, another begins its renewal in Dungog Shire, as the Albanese and Minns Labor Governments continue rebuilding and restoring critical infrastructure across regional NSW.
The first stage of the new Clarence Town Bridge is now open to traffic, delivering safer and more reliable journeys for locals, visitors and freight operators.
The new bridge will be transformative for heavy vehicle access to Clarence Town, allowing the return of 42.5 tonne semi-trailers.
At the same time, the heritage listed timber truss Brig O’Johnston Bridge has closed to traffic, marking the start of a major rehabilitation that will preserve its legacy while strengthening it for the future.
The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments are jointly investing $22.8 million in the project, with $11.8 million from the Australian Government and $11 million from the NSW Government.
The new Clarence Town Bridge is a significant piece of infrastructure, spanning 130 metres in length and 14.4 metres in width. It features traffic dual lanes designed to accommodate heavy vehicles, as well as a new pedestrian walkway and upgraded road approaches and footpaths.
Single lane traffic will operate across the new bridge while construction work and upgrades continue. Work on the project is expected to be complete early 2027.
Brig O’Johnston Bridge will now be temporarily closed to allow for major rehabilitation work. This work will strengthen the structure to meet current vehicle loads requirements, reduce ongoing maintenance needs, and preserve its status as the oldest surviving timber truss bridge in NSW.
This careful sequencing of works means the community stays connected, while an important piece of the state’s heritage is restored for future generations.
Rehabilitation of the Brig O’Johnston Bridge is expected to be completed by mid-2029.
Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister, Catherine King:
“This investment by the Albanese and Minns governments shows what can be achieved when we work together to deliver practical outcomes for regional communities.
“The new Clarence Town Bridge will make a real difference to daily life. Improving access, reducing travel times and enhancing safety for people living, working and travelling to Dungog.
“Heavy vehicles will no longer have commit to a 52 kilometre detour to bypass the existing bridge, saving valuable time for truck drivers in the area.
“By partnering across state and federal levels, we’ve been able to deliver a safer, more reliable crossing that will serve the Clarence Town area for decades to come.”
NSW Minister for Roads, Jenny Aitchison:
“The Clarence Town community has waited decades for new investment in their bridge.
“Emergency repairs to the bridge were never made permanent under the former Nationals Government and cost escalations required an increased investment by Labor State and Federal Governments.
The Minns Labor Government is committed to building the infrastructure our communities need while preserving the historic assets that tell the story of who we are.
“This project will deliver a brand new, safer and more resilient crossing over the Williams River, alongside important work to restore and protect the heritage-listed Brig O’Johnston Bridge.
“The building of the new bridge and restoration of the former one have been carefully managed by Transport and Dungog Council to increase access, reduce the need for detours and maintain safety.
“This project is transformative for heavy vehicle operators, removing a 50-minute detour, a major inconvenience costing time and money.”
Labor Spokesperson for Upper Hunter, Emily Suvaal MLC:
“Investment in regional communities like Dungog is critical to supporting long-term growth and liveability.
“The new Clarence Town Bridge will benefit the daily lives of people living, working and traveling to Dungog by improving access significantly, cutting down travel times, and improving safety.
“It’s also fantastic to see work for major rehabilitation work on Brig O’Johnston Bridge which was built in the 1800s and our oldest surviving timber truss bridge.
“This major rehabilitation work will preserve the historic Brig O’Johnston Bridge and ensure future generations can experience and appreciate our timber bridge heritage.
“Projects like this bridge not only improve local infrastructure but also demonstrate our commitment to ensuring regional towns continue to receive the infrastructure they need and deserve.”
Dungog Mayor, Digby Rayward:
“Seeing traffic move onto the new bridge is a proud moment for Council and the Clarence Town community. It demonstrates the value of long-term planning and determined advocacy to improve critical local infrastructure.
“While this is not yet the end of the project, it is a significant step forward. I thank the Clarence Town community and all the road users of the bridge for their ongoing patience. I’m excited to see the entire project finalised later this year.”

Australian Government response to the 2025 independent review of the Woomera Prohibited Area coexistence framework
The Australian Government welcomes the findings of the 2025 independent review of the Woomera Prohibited Area coexistence framework.
The Government accepts all 19 of the review’s recommendations. 17 are accepted in full, while two – which require additional steps for implementation – have been accepted in-principle.
Led by Ms Rebecca Skinner PSM, the review undertook comprehensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including pastoralists, the resource, tourism and research sectors, and First Nations groups. The review also engaged closely with the South Australian Government as the Commonwealth’s partner in coexistence.
The review found that while the coexistence framework operated effectively since its establishment in 2014, it requires modernisation to reflect Australia’s contemporary strategic environment.
The recommendations will inform the remaking of the Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014, which underpins the arrangements that seek to balance the interests of all Defence, economic and cultural users, as well as reforms to modernise the coexistence framework. In return for giving Defence the additional flexibility it needs for activities to meet its growing operational capability requirements and to protect Australia, the Government has committed Defence to minimising impacts and providing greater certainty to non-Defence users. Defence will work closely with all stakeholders, including First Nations groups, as it implements the reforms.
The Government thanks Ms Skinner for conducting the review and Woomera Prohibited Area stakeholders for their constructive engagement throughout the process and their ongoing commitment to successful coexistence.
The final report and government response is available at: Review of the Woomera Prohibited Area Coexistence Framework
Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Richard Marles MP:
“The review reaffirmed the continuing utility of the co-existence framework but found it requires modernisation to respond to our challenging strategic circumstances. Woomera will be increasingly important to enable Defence to accelerate the development, testing and acquisition of advanced and emerging capabilities.
“At the same time, the Government is committed to working closely with all coexistence stakeholders —including pastoralists, the resource sector and First Nations groups — to improve access and certainty for other users, and to implement these reforms now and into the future.”
A better run home: M5 West upgrade begins
Safety on the M5 is set for a major boost, with work now underway on the $380 million M5 Westbound upgrade to eliminate dangerous weaving and deliver a smoother, more reliable journey for thousands of motorists.
The short stretch between Moorebank Avenue and the Hume Highway results in last-minute merging, lane switching and unpredictable delays on one of Sydney’s most important highways.
The Minns and Albanese Labor Governments are changing that.
Both contributing $190 million, the jointly funded upgrade will create a safer trip for motorists travelling from southwest Sydney areas like Liverpool, Casula and Moorebank towards the Hume Highway and beyond.
The project will separate westbound traffic from the M5 near Moorebank Avenue from traffic on Moorebank Avenue joining the M5. This will remove a major conflict point between motorists entering and exiting the M5 and minimising impact to commuters, businesses, and the community during its construction.
The existing bridge over the Georges River, connecting the M5 Motorway to the Hume Highway and Moorebank Avenue, carries more than 2,500 trucks a day from the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Precinct onto Sydney’s motorway network.
Traffic congestion worsens during the afternoon peak, as vehicles entering the motorway westbound at Moorebank Avenue merge with traffic exiting at the Hume Highway. Truck volumes are also expected to grow as more sections of the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal Precinct come online.
This outcome has been achieved through the focussed efforts of Transport for NSW and Seymour White Pty Ltd, and Jacobs working closely together to refine the design to provide a safe and cost-effective enhancement to the M5.
The new design will see the M5 West turnoff moved immediately west of Moorebank Avenue to make navigation easier to follow and improve safety along the busy motorway.
Instead of fighting to merge across lanes in heavy traffic, drivers will have a clear, dedicated path – cutting down sudden braking, near-misses and the frustrating stop-starting traffic conditions that builds up in the afternoon peak.
The project includes:
- A new 300m long, three lane bridge over the Georges River and the Southern Sydney Freight Line, T2 and T5 railway lines, improving the connections between the M5 Motorway, Moorebank Avenue and the Hume Highway
- Removal of the high-risk weaving section between Moorebank Avenue and the Hume Highway
- Provision of extra lanes that will remove the need for around 2,600 vehicles per day to weave between lanes and other road users when navigating the entry and exit points at the Hume Highway and Moorebank Avenue
- A new shared path for cyclists and pedestrians
Major construction is now underway with Seymour Whyte Constructions Pty Ltd and Transport for NSW working closely to minimise impacts to the community, businesses and motorists.
During construction motorists will see some changes on the road, including reduced speed limits and occasional lane closures, with work carefully staged to keep traffic moving.
For more information about the project, go to nswroads.work/m5westbound.
Work is scheduled for completion in 2029.
Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister, Catherine King:
“The Albanese and Minns Labor Government are working together to deliver the infrastructure that really matters for our growing communities.
“This new westbound connection will simplify this busy section of the M5 through Liverpool, making it an easier and safer drive for everyone behind the wheel – especially during the afternoon peak.
“It will also help freight move more smoothly from the Moorebank Intermodal terminal and the M5, or to the Hume Motorway without having to enter the main flow of the M5.”
Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney, Prue Car:
“For far too long families across Western Sydney has seen vital infrastructure like roads not keep pace with the growth of their communities.
“This upgrade will give South-West Sydney residents a more direct run through one of the busiest roads in Sydney.
“This project one of several key road upgrades the Minns and Albanese Labor Governments are carrying out across the region, to ensure that Western Sydney residents can spend less time on the road and more time with their families.”
Minister for Roads, Jenny Aitchison:
“Anyone who drives this stretch of the M5 is no stranger to the nightmare that is peak hour traffic. When everyone is trying to move across lanes at the same time it can not only be dangerous, but inevitably slows things down creating stop-start traffic. It’s not exactly how anyone wants to start their day.
“What this upgrade will do is take that pressure point out, giving drivers a clear run instead of forcing those last-minute merges. It means traffic can flow more smoothly and people can get through this section with a lot less stress.
“This is an important upgrade for Western Sydney, where communities and businesses can now enjoy safer drives, less congestion, and an easier daily commute.”
Federal Member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley:
“Work is now underway and this is welcome news for residents of Werriwa who utilise this road every day.
“The additional bridge will improve traffic flow and take the stress out of driving over this part of the M5. I look forward to the completion of this long awaited and necessary section of road.”
Federal Member for Hughes, David Moncrieff:
“Local residents in our have been frustrated by this unsafe stretch of road for too long, especially during peak hour. This upgrade gives residents of southwestern Sydney more time with their families and less time stuck in unpredictable traffic.
“This upgrade puts an end to needing last-minute lane changes and means fewer unpredictable delays for a smoother, safer run home.”
Member for Liverpool, Charishma Kaliyanda:
“For communities like Liverpool, the M5 is part of the daily commute, but on this section in particular, safety has always been a major concern.
“That’s why this upgrade is so important. We’re making sure Liverpool residents can get where they need to go with a clear run and confidence.”
New recruitment rules in place for early learning providers offer better protection for children thanks to new laws
New rules requiring early learning services to undertake strict screening checks and verify suitability to work with children are now in place as part of the Minns Labor Government reforms to keep children safe.
Approved providers and services must ensure all recruitment involves rigorous screening checks to verify each applicant’s suitability to work with children prior to employment or engagement.
They must also confirm that prospective and existing staff are not subject to a suspension, supervision or prohibition notice, or an enforceable undertaking. Penalties apply where individuals provide false or misleading information.
Other new mandatory requirements now in force include whistleblower protection policies and training for staff to encourage a culture of reporting in early learning services across NSW.
The new measures come as NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Education Prue Car yesterday announced the appointment of Mr Darryl Currie as the ongoing Early Learning Commissioner.
Mr Currie has been acting in the role since 1 December 2025 and has played a central role in establishing the Early Learning Commission and driving significant reform across the sector during its formative period.
His appointment forms a key part of the NSW Government’s nation-leading child safety reforms. The reforms are focused on ensuring every child in early learning settings is safe, supported, and receiving high-quality education and care.
Mr Currie brings extensive experience in education and public administration, as well as a deep understanding of statutory environments where the rights and best interests of children are the paramount consideration.
His ongoing appointment will strengthen the regulation, monitoring and accountability of early learning services across NSW, providing greater confidence for families and driving consistent, system-wide improvements.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:
“The Minns Labor Government is building a system where child safety and quality are non-negotiable, and an ongoing Commissioner ensures there is clear accountability at the heart of that effort.”
“The Commissioner will play a critical role in ensuring strong oversight, high standards, and consistent regulation across the sector.”
NSW Early Learning Commissioner Daryl Currie said:
“I am honoured to take on this permanent role and to continue working to strengthen early learning across NSW.”
“Every child deserves a safe, high-quality early learning environment, and that will remain at the centre of my work every day.”
“Transparency and accountability will remain central to how the Commission regulates and supports the sector, so that families can have confidence that wherever they access early learning in NSW, their children are safe and supported.”
Turning up the volume on Sydney’s waterfront with new busking spots at Sydney Fish Market
The Minns Labor Government is expanding opportunities for street performers, with four new busking sites added at the Sydney Fish Markets.
Sydney’s newest destination, which has welcomed around 1.5 million visitors since opening, has quickly become a vibrant place to gather, relax, and connect, with extensive tiered seating and communal tables promoting a welcoming and inclusive environment for locals and visitors alike.
Spanning 6,000 square metres of public domain, the precinct is the perfect stage for talented performers to bring energy and atmosphere, as visitors enjoy some of Sydney’s best food against a world-class harbour backdrop.
This builds on the Minns Labor Government’s expansion of busking across The Rocks, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour, where 16 new locations were introduced late last year, bringing the total number of dedicated performance sites to 38.
Since the expansion, 43 new permit applications have been received from street performers.
An additional four sites at the Sydney Fish Market will be trialled over three months, further boosting opportunities for our creative citizens.
To add further vibrancy, new performance opportunities have been introduced across all precincts for visual art activities such as cartoonists, chalk artists, and painters.
With millions of visitors passing through Sydney’s harbourside precincts each month, these spaces are the ideal platform to showcase local talent while enriching the visitor experience.
This initiative builds on the Minns Labor Governments broader push to boost vibrancy across NSW by lifting event caps, cutting red tape, and making it easier for entertainment, dinking and cultural experiences to thrive.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Paul Scully said:
“One of the best ways to experience our harbour city is through its food, its culture, and its local talent. Busking brings all of that together.
“The new Sydney Fish Market is fast becoming a must-visit destination, and these performance spaces will add to the atmosphere, giving people even more reason to stay, explore and enjoy everything on offer.
“We’ve already seen the huge success of the New Wave Concert Series in bringing live music, energy, and nightlife to the Sydney Fish Market, and expanding busking opportunities is another way of continuing that success.
“From The Rocks, to Barangaroo, Darling Harbour and now the Sydney Fish Market, these precincts attract millions of visitors and busking will help bring a vibrant soundtrack to our streets.
“This is another example of the Minns Labor Government unlocking opportunities which support Sydney to be a world-class, bustling and vibrant city.”
NSW Government initiates emergency response to address homelessness in Wagga Wagga
The NSW Government has brought together an emergency working group following the heartbreaking death of a newborn baby in a Wagga Wagga homeless encampment.
A meeting was convened on Thursday between the NSW Government and City of Wagga Wagga Council to discuss homelessness in the city, particularly rough sleeping camps in Wilks Park and along the Murrumbidgee River.
An agreement was reached to bring together a cross-agency group to support rough sleepers into more permanent forms of housing.
Homes NSW, local homelessness service providers, NSW Police, and City of Wagga Wagga Council will work in partnership to do this. This collaborative approach escalates ongoing work to address homeless in the city.
The Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson will visit Wagga Wagga in coming weeks as part of this work.
The planned approach will mirror recent, successful models used to address homelessness encampments on the Central Coast.
The priority is to ensure that all rough sleepers are not only moved on, but moved forward into safer, stable housing.
Homelessness is one of the most challenging issues faced by government and it requires a coordinated approach that is grounded in compassion and an understanding of individual complexity.
Premier for NSW Chris Minns said:
“This has been heartbreaking news. Every person experiencing homelessness deserves safety and support, and the loss of a newborn child is devastating.
“Yesterday, I met with Wagga Mayor Dallas Tout, the General Manager, local member Dr Joe McGirr, and the Minister for Homelessness Rose Jackson, to talk about the way forward.
“It was a productive meeting that allowed us to come up with an immediate plan to support those people currently camping at Wilks Park and along the Murrumbidgee.”
Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said:
“Our thoughts are with the parents and their newborn, who remain in hospital care. This tragic death is a timely reminder that we must all double our efforts to look after the most vulnerable among us.
“I want to acknowledge the work of Homes NSW staff and the local services providers in Wagga Wagga, who work tirelessly to make sure everyone who seeks support can access it.
“We thank the City of Wagga Wagga and NSW Police for partnering with us to address this challenge.”
Member for Wagga Wagga Dr Joe McGirr said:
“I want to thank the Premier and the Minister for Housing for their swift action and I welcome the establishment of this emergency working group.
“It’s crucial that we take a cross-agency approach to support rough sleepers to find more suitable accommodation.
“Today’s meeting has allowed us to move beyond blame and towards a positive, proactive response.”
City of Wagga Wagga Mayor Dallas Tout said:
“Wagga Council recognises the prompt and cooperative response of the NSW Government to address this tragedy and we thank them for the opportunity to meet throughout this week.
“Council also acknowledges the ongoing work and coordination by local member Dr Joe McGirr who attended all meetings.
“Discussions acknowledged the need for a joint government response to the situation which provides both support and safety. Work is now underway across multiple agencies to prepare and deliver this action.”
Minerals Week shines a light on NSW’s resources future
The Minns Labor Government has taken an ultrasound of the Earth’s crust, and what it found could unlock the next generation of mineral discoveries across the state.
New geological data from the Lachlan Fold Belt, released today as part of NSW Minerals Week, delivers a major step forward in understanding one of Australia’s most prospective regions for critical minerals and high-tech metals.
Preliminary results show that rock formations known to host copper and gold may sit closer to the surface than previously understood, while large fault systems linked to existing mining areas can be seen extending even further underground.
The survey has also identified underground rocks associated with minerals used in manufacturing and clean technologies. This includes tin, tungsten and molybdenum, as well as rock types linked to high-value metals such as scandium, nickel, cobalt and platinum.
These critical minerals are essential for modern life. Cobalt and nickel go into the batteries that power electric vehicles. Tin and tungsten are essential to everyday electronics. Finding them in NSW means finding them in a stable jurisdiction with the ability to get them to market.
The seismic survey was conducted over two geographical lines extending 420 kilometres across the Lachlan Fold Belt, including the longest continuous seismic line ever acquired in NSW.
Also released this week is the foundation of a Petrophysical Atlas of NSW, giving explorers access to vital rock property data including magnetic properties, conductivity, resistivity and density. Developed through the assessment of more than 1,200 core samples over four months, the atlas will make high-quality exploration data more accessible to industry, researchers and the broader geoscience community.
The releases coincide with NSW Minerals Week, which has seen hundreds of investors and explorers attend events including Exploration in the House, the Exploration and Tenures Forum and the Sydney Resources Round Up.
Both form an important part of the NSW Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Strategy 2024–35, including a royalty deferral to support new critical minerals projects moving to production and a co-funded exploration program for explorers, researchers and industry partners.
The Minns Labor Government is committed to ensuring that as global demand for critical minerals grows, the benefits are felt across the communities that depend on a strong and sustainable resources sector.
Mineral royalty revenue for 2025–26 is forecast to reach approximately $302 million, up from $250 million the previous year, funding the roads, schools, hospitals and transport that communities rely on.
Minister for Natural Resources Courtney Houssos:
“Mining has a long history in NSW and it will continue to play an important role in our economy, particularly as global demand for critical minerals continues to grow.
“By releasing high quality geoscience data this NSW Minerals Week, the Minns Labor Government is partnering with industry to reduce exploration risk and give investors greater confidence.
“Critical minerals are essential for modern manufacturing, clean energy technologies and advanced industries. Finding and developing them in NSW means producing them in a stable jurisdiction with clear rules and strong environmental and regulatory standards.
“Royalties from our mining sector fund the roads, health services and community infrastructure that regional NSW depends on. Supporting exploration today means supporting those communities for years to come.”
Milestone reached in fix for major Central Coast traffic pinch point
Over 26,000 Central Coast motorists are a step closer to ditching one of the region’s worst bottlenecks, with the first construction stage of the Tumbi Road intersection upgrade wrapping up this week.
As part of a broader plan to improve safety and traffic flow between Wamberal and Bateau Bay, the intersection of Central Coast Highway and Tumbi Road is being upgraded with a $52.4 million investment from the Albanese Labor Government and a $13.1 million investment from the Minns Labor Government.
Delivered in construction stages, the project is already making strong progress on the ground.
Stage 1 focused on improving traffic movements through the intersection by removing the old concrete medians and roundabout, replacing them with a temporary asphalt roundabout, and relocating critical utilities including water, sewer, gas and electrical services.
Stage 2 will see earthworks on the western side of the project, north of the roundabout, to create the required width for the new traffic lanes. It will also continue installation of the sandstone and concrete retaining walls, as well as property adjustments at businesses along the Central Coast Highway.
This next construction stage will also see new stormwater drainage installed, upgraded and smoother road pavements and footpaths, and improvements to bus stops to better support the growing communities of the Central Coast.
Since construction began in June 2025, crews have completed extensive vegetation clearing, major earthworks, utility relocations, new street lighting and the construction of a 2.5-metre-high sandstone retaining wall to support road widening and safer pedestrian access.
For the thousands of locals who rely on this stretch of road every day, whether commuting to work or getting kids to school, this upgrade will mean less time stuck in traffic and more reliable trips across the Central Coast.
The full upgrade is on track for completion by mid-2028, with the community to be kept informed as work progresses.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King:
“This is an exciting step toward improving traffic flow at a notorious bottleneck for commuters on the Central Coast.
“The Australian and NSW Governments are committed to delivering the new roads communities need. This safer intersection will mean smoother traffic flows and better connections for everyone using Central Coast roads.”
Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride:
“I’m pleased to see the first construction stage of this important upgrade to Tumbi Road now completed.
“Replacing the roundabout with traffic lights will ease local congestion, improve safety and help reduce travel times.”
NSW Minister for Roads, Jenny Aitchison:
“The Central Coast community can breathe a sigh of relief this week knowing we’ve reached the next milestone in this major upgrade.
“Getting stage one complete means we can now move into the next phase of work to build a safer, more reliable intersection that makes everyday trips easier – whether you’re heading to work, school drop-off or running errands.
“This is about making sure people can get where they need to go safely and with less stress, and we’ll keep the community updated as the upgrade takes shape.”
NSW Minister for Central Coast, David Harris:
“I’m proud to be part of a government delivering infrastructure to our growing region and in this case upgrades that make a real difference to improving safety, easing congestion and giving people more time back in their day instead of sitting in traffic.
“This project has also delivered for the local economy, supporting 125 local jobs throughout construction.”
Member for The Entrance, David Mehan:
“Seeing stage one complete shows real momentum on a project that will make a lasting difference to how people move around the Central Coast.”
“No matter if you’re heading to the shops, school drop-off or work, this project is about making everyday trips faster, safer and more reliable.”
