The Milton Ulladulla bypass has reached the next stage of planning, with important Secretary Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) being issued to Transport for NSW.
The SEARs will provide transport with specific instructions pertaining to what issues need to be addressed in the projects’ Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which is a key part of the development application project.
Aurecon Australasia Pty Ltd was recently awarded the contract to carry out the concept designs and environmental assessment for the bypass.
The $940 million project is funded in an 80:20 split between the federal and NSW governments, which will contribute $752 million and $188 million each respectively.
“I am thrilled the Milton Ulladulla bypass has hit another planning progression milestone. It is wonderful news for the community,” Member for South Coast Liza Butler says.
“This ensures the project will receive the prioritisation it deserves from both the state and federal governments, reinforcing its importance to the South Coast region.
“I know how important this project is to the Milton, Ulladulla and surrounding communities.”
The Milton Ulladulla bypass project was initially announced back in May 2019, with community consultation in 2021 and 2022 informing the planning development.
