Federal Member for Gilmore, Fiona Phillips, is calling for Shoalhaven Mayor Patricia White to publicly update the community on the status of local road upgrades under the $40 million Shoalhaven Roads Package.

Mrs Phillips said the Albanese Labor Government delivered $40 million in the 2022 Federal Budget to fix six key local roads.

“I delivered the funds three years ago, this month, but there continues to be little communication from the Shoalhaven Mayor on the progress of the road works,” she said.

The six roads include:                                                  

• Forest Road
• Callala Beach Road
• Callala Bay Road
• Culburra Road
• Coonemia / Currarong / Callala Bay Road Intersection
• Greenwell Point / Worrigee Road Intersection

Mrs Phillips said “ratepayers just want their roads fixed”.

“It’s beyond belief that I delivered $40 million in the federal budget three years ago, specifically to fix six key local roads, and yet what does the Shoalhaven Mayor have to show for it?

“The least the Mayor could do is tell locals what’s going on and when their roads are going to be fixed.

“It’s a bit rich of the Mayor calling for more money when the funding I delivered three years ago has not been spent.”
