About the Project
Yellow Rock Road (YRR) is located off the Illawarra Highway to the west of Albion Park and provides access to many homes in the suburbs of Tullimbar and Yellow Rock.
YRR was originally constructed as a rural road to service many rural properties west of Albion Park. However, with the significant transformation that the area has undergone in recent years it has been identified that an upgrade is required to ensure it services the needs of the developing areas of Tullimbar and its surrounds.
Council engaged the services of Maker ENG to prepare a design for the upgrade of YRR to function as a major collector type road. The design scope is to cover the length of YRR bounded by existing urban development as well as to cater for potential future development scenarios to future proof the functionality of the road.
The design of the YRR Upgrade includes:
- Upgrading of travel lanes
- The provision of better on-street parking
- Shared path connections & crossing facilities
- Intersection upgrades
- Kerb & gutter and stormwater drainage
- Linemarking and signposting

Stage 1 & 2
Stage 1 & Stage 2 extend from Illawarra Highway to 62 Yellow Rock Road. The community were able to view and discuss these designs with Council staff and designers during Community drop-in sessions held at Centenary hall during July 2023.
Construction of Stage 1 & Stage 2 is earmarked to commence as part of the 2025/26 future Delivery Program based on funding sources and grant funding availability

Future Stages
Upon finalisation of the Stage 1 & Stage 2 design, the design process will now continue for the remaining sections of YRR and construction of these future stages will be subject to adoption of future years operational plans.
