Toll Reductions and Reforms Announced for Sydney Motorway Network
The package cuts tolls on four Sydney motorways and adds a new motorcycle class, while Transurban said June group traffic rose 3.8%.
- Following two years of negotiations, the NSW Government and Transurban finalized a toll reform deal to lower prices across four major Sydney motorways.
- Premier Chris Minns confirmed the government refused to extend private operator contracts, ensuring roads return to public control once concessions expire.
- Reform measures include 10 per cent toll cuts on the Lane Cove Tunnel, M2, and M7, alongside a government-funded $850 million widening of those motorways and a $75 million operator contribution.
- Shadow Roads Minister Natalie Ward claimed the government is selling voters a "lemon," while NSW Transport Minister John Graham defended the "modest falls," though critics contend the deal covers just 40 per cent of toll road trips.
- Implementation depends on finalizing agreements by the second half of 2026, with two-way tolling on the Eastern Distributor and a 50 per cent motorcyclist reduction on all motorways beginning July 1, 2027.
