About the Project
Yellow Rock Road is located west of Albion Park, connecting the Illawarra Highway with the growing neighbourhoods of Tullimbar and Yellow Rock Ridge.
The upgrade will create a safer and more reliable route for people driving, walking and cycling in the area. The works will improve safety, access and drainage while supporting future growth in the western part of the city.
The project will deliver:
- New road pavement and upgraded intersections
- Improved pedestrian paths and crossings
- Kerb, gutter and stormwater improvements
- Better on-street parking and accessibility
The project is now out to tender to appoint a construction contractor. Design for Stages 1 and 2 is complete, and work is expected to start in early 2026, subject to approvals and weather conditions.
