The Minns Labor Government has accelerated the delivery of $155 million to undertake a pothole and road repair blitz across regional New South Wales, as part its ongoing work to build a better New South Wales.
The fast-tracked funding will increase state road maintenance funding in the regions to $1.25 billion this financial year, with key works already underway.
This funding is about making regional roads safer, more reliable and fairer— because every community deserves roads they can depend on to get to work, school and home.
It comes after NSW Government funding saw 184,000 potholes across regional communities filled during 2024/25. This came as part of a record level of investment in maintenance and disaster recovery for regional roads.
This investment will deliver safer roads, from Broken Hill to Bega, ensuring that regional communities get their fair share of road maintenance investment.
Labor said, Under the Liberal-National government regional road investment was an afterthoughtand added the Minns Labor Government understands that regional roads are essential to the connectivity of our state.
