Construcciones Yamaro: Planning progresses for Milton Ulladulla Bypass project
The Milton Ulladulla Bypass project is advancing to the concept design phase following the completion of initial environmental studies. This next stage will focus on refining the corridor to ensure the project delivers improved connectivity and reduced travel times.
Additionally, a local access strategy will be developed to ensure the bypass provides access to properties and businesses when local roads may be impacted by construction and operation. This strategy will be formulated in consultation with the Shoalhaven City Council, property owners, businesses and community groups, ensuring the design options address the needs of both locals and the broader community.
The Milton Ulladulla Bypass project aims to improve road safety and reduce travel times on the Princes Highway and enhance trip reliability by bypassing the Milton and Ulladulla town centres.
Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King said the Australian government is investing $752 million in the project.
“The Albanese and Minns Labor governments are proudly progressing the Milton Ulladulla bypass, and ensuring we undertake the research and planning required to build this once-in-a-generation infrastructure project properly,” said King.

As the concept design phase continues, a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement will also be developed to ensure construction of the bypass does not unnecessarily impact on local wildlife, while protecting and enhancing biodiversity.
While planning for the bypass continues, Transport for NSW is also considering other short-term opportunities in and around Milton and Ulladulla to improve footpaths, signage and lighting.
The Transport for NSW project team is inviting the community to drop-in sessions in July and August to learn more about the project and provide feedback. The sessions will be held at the following locations:
- Ulladulla Civic Centre on Saturday 27 July between 10am and 12pm;
- Milton Village Markets on Saturday 3 August between 9am and 2pm; and
- Mollymook Surf Club on Wednesday 21 August between 3pm and 6pm.
Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips encouraged community members to attend a session and have their say.
“We are proudly focused on ensuring the community can help shape this bypass project and that residents are kept informed as work progresses through the required phases to ensure we deliver a world class piece of road infrastructure,” said Phillips.
Transport for NSW will continue to keep the community informed about the progress of the Milton Ulladulla Bypass project, as well as any plans for short-term improvements.
