Warrell Creek to Urunga

The combined Warrell Creek and Macksville to Urunga projects would involve an upgrade of the existing highway to double lane divided road (dual carriageway) from the existing dual carriageway Allgomera deviation, south of Warrell Creek, to the Waterfall Way at Raleigh, north of Urunga.

In June 2003, the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) began planning a dual carriageway upgrade of the Pacific Highway from Macksville to Urunga. In November 2005, the NSW Minister for Roads announced the preferred route for the Macksville to Urunga section of the upgrade and a review of the previously approved preferred route for the adjacent Warrell Creek section.

The latest community update, the Warrell Creek Review Report and a question and answer sheet are now available on the Project documents section of this website. The community update and the Warrell Creek Review Report both describe the preferred route for the Warrell Creek section. The Warrell Creek Review Report also contains responses to submissions received on the route options displayed from September to November 2007.

In addition, the RTA has lodged a project application with the NSW Department of Planning under Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Act 1979 for the upgrade of the Pacific Highway between Warrell Creek and Urunga. The project application is also available on the Department of Planning website and on the Project documents section of this website.

This website provides further information on the development process for the combined Warrell Creek to Urunga projects, including opportunities for community and stakeholder involvement.
