Community feedback sought on NSW’s Dora Creek intersection

Residents are being encouraged to have their say on concept designs for an upgrade to the intersection of Main Road and Dora Street, Dora Creek, in New South Wales.

The proposed upgrade aims to improve traffic flow, safety and travel times for the 8500 motorists who use this intersection each day and support further population growth.

The new concept designs feature a new alignment and upgrade of the Main Road and Dora Street intersection, two lanes of travel in each direction along Main Road, a new raised pedestrian crossing, upgrade to the existing car park on Walmsley Street, as well as new kerbing and concrete gutters.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin said residents and other interested parties were invited to comment on the concept design.

“The western region of Lake Macquarie continues to grow and we want to make sure the community gets the chance to have its say on the concept design for this increasingly busy intersection,” Martin said.

“Community feedback will help the project team understand what the community sees as important and to deliver the best outcomes for the community.”

Transport for NSW has started site investigation work to inform environmental assessments in the Review of Environmental Factors (REF). The community will be invited to provide feedback on the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) in mid-2023.

Consultation on the initial concept design will be open for one month, with submissions closing at 5pm on Friday 16 December 2022.
