Have your say – Review of the Roads Act 1993

The NSW Government is undertaking a review the Roads Act 1993 to create a more contemporary planning and management framework for roads and streets across NSW.

This review aims to better enable Transport for NSW and councils as decision makers and recognises the function of roads not only for vehicle traffic but for all road users.

The NSW Government has set four targeted objectives for improvement. They are ensuring:

1. More contemporary uses for roads and streets that are safe and responsive to community needs.
2. Faster local decision making with appropriate mitigations to manage network risk.
3. A streamlined and easy to use statute that keeps pace with change.
4. A more operationally effective statute.

A feedback survey on the Issues Paper is open for responses until Friday 28 March 2025.
