The NSW Government committed $250 million in the 2025–26 State Budget to complete the long-overdue upgrade of Mona Vale Road West.

This was a campaign promise I made to the people of Pittwater that I’ve been able to deliver. 

As your independent MP, I’ve worked across party lines and kept the pressure on to ensure this critical project gets the funding it deserves.

This is a huge win for Pittwater - achieved not through party politics, but by putting people first and applying consistent, evidence-based pressure on the government - even calling myself the 'MP for Mona Vale Road' in my very first speech to parliament. 

The unfinished Mona Vale Road is dangerous and congested, despite being a major artery in and out of the Northern Beaches, the access road to Northern Beaches Hospital and an emergency evacuation route in the event of fire. 

This funding from the NSW Government is in addition to the $250 million in Federal Government funding secured by Mackellar MP Dr Sophie Scamps earlier in 2025, bringing the total funding for the project to $500 million.

My focus now is monitoring delivery, pushing for transparency and community consultation, and ensuring the upgrade is built to the highest standards.
