The Member for Pittwater, Jacqui Scruby, welcomes the Albanese government’s commitment of $250m to complete the Mona Vale Road West Upgrade, demonstrating independents deliver for their communities. 

Ms Scruby and federal MP for Mackellar, Dr Sophie Scamps, have been working together to lobby both state and federal governments to prioritise the completion of the 3.4km of road from Ingleside to Terrey Hills.  

“As our number one priority, Dr Sophie Scamps MP and I have worked relentlessly lobbying both state and federal governments for a commitment to complete this road and those efforts have paid off with this $250m commitment.”

Ms Scruby notes that fixing the Mona Vale Road bottleneck is integral for the safety of residents and commuters of the Northern Beaches.

“The Federal government’s commitment to complete the Mona Vale Road Upgrade is a huge win for the Northern Beaches. The completed Mona Vale Road will be safer and less congested, eradicating the bottleneck with a continuous four lanes from Mona Vale to Pymble.”

“Independents deliver for their communities - as the commitment of $250m for Mona Vale Road West Upgrade in the upcoming 2025/26 budget demonstrates.”

Ms Scruby called on the NSW government to match the funding for the completion of the road in the upcoming NSW budget. 

“I’m working constructively with the new Minister for Roads and Premier and this announcement will strengthen the case for this road to be prioritised and fully funded by the NSW government also.”

“I’ve taken the Premier to visit Mona Vale Road and he knows its importance to the safety and transport needs of the Northern Beaches. I’ve already revitalised my lobbying of the NSW Government following this announcement. Completion of Mona Vale Road remains my number one priority for my electorate.”
