Motorists and cyclists will soon experience quicker and easier journeys through Cronulla, with work progressing to ease congestion at the busy intersection of Elouera Road and Kingsway.
Proposed upgrades to the intersection include adding a new right turn lane on Elouera Road to help prevent traffic building up and blocking the nearby through lane. Plans allow seven extra cars to fit into the upgraded turning bay, doubling capacity and allowing more efficient traffic flow.
With around 20,000 motorists using Kingsway each day, this corridor is crucial to keep people moving around Cronulla and the local region.
The project will also improve safety for cyclists by installing an on-road cycle lane for southbound riders on Elouera Road to connect with the existing cycle lane on Gerrale Street.
The important local Bali memorial will not be impacted by this work and artist’s impressions reflect the care taken to ensure the appearance of Peryman Square is maintained.
The first stage of work will start in December, and include relocating two accessible car parking spaces on Elouera Road further north, towards Mitchell Road, and road resurfacing work.
This minor work will be carried out between Sunday 9 and Sunday 23 December from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 8pm to 5am Sunday to Thursday, weather permitting.
Before major work starts in 2019 the community is being asked to have a say on parking changes, with around 15 spaces to be removed on Elouera Road.
Roads and Maritime is working with Sutherland Shire Council to ensure as many of these spaces as possible are replaced. There are three proposals.
The first is to converting existing open space at the rear of the Mitchell Road car park to add 15 replacement spaces.
A second option is to change the existing untimed parking spaces on Mitchell Road, near Elouera Road, to four hour timed parking. This would replace 13 timed spaces removed from Elouera Road.
A third proposal is moving parking spaces on Mitchell Road, between Burke Road and Prince Street, from the west side of the road to the east side of the road. This would provide seven extra untimed spaces.
Feedback is also being sought on the work schedule for 2019, to ensure it minimises any potential disruption to local traffic, limits noise and maintains access to businesses and North Cronulla Beach.
To complete the project as quickly as possible, Roads and Maritime is proposing to work up to five nights and six days a week.
There will be temporary traffic changes during work hours, to ensure the safety of pedestrians, motorists and workers. Lane closures will be in place and may affect travel times.
The project team will be available at a pop-up kiosk outside Cronulla Post Office on Thursday 6 December, from 4pm to 7pm, and on Saturday 8 December from 10am to 1pm.
Roads and Maritime is requesting comments or suggestions on this project by Monday 17 December 2018. To have your say you contact the project team on 1800 572 004, by email at pinchpoint@rms.nsw.gov.au or by writing to PO Box 973, Parramatta NSW 2124.
“They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.“
I attended moving Anzac Dawn Services at Martin Place and Cronulla today (and was represented at Caringbah and Miranda).
Anzac Day isn’t about celebrating generals or wars or territorial ambitions - above all, it’s about honouring the generations of ordinary men and women who’ve served, or are serving, their country through our defence forces, including over 100,000 Australians who’ve laid down their lives doing so - and being so grateful for the freedoms we enjoy as a result. ...

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
The 2025 Harbour Sunset Tribute on Anzac Eve marked the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign and 80 years this year since the end of World War II - a moving tribute to all who have lost their lives in service for our country, those who have served and those who are currently serving.
As I placed my wreath, I also thought of the thousands of Australians who would sailed from Sydney Harbour to serve our nation, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ... See MoreSee Less

Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting yourself and your loved ones from influenza.
Under the Minns Labor Government it is.
The NSW Liberals and Nationals are urging the Minns Labor Government to bring back free flu vaccines for all NSW people amid warnings of a monster flu season.
Our former Government provided free flu vaccinations in 2022, a program cut by the Minns Labor Government.
Last year’s flu season was the worst on record.
The Government needs to step up and ensure every NSW resident can access a free flu, which is what we’d do.
It’s false economy not to do so. In a cost-of-living crisis, providing free flu vaccines will result in fewer hospital visits, less pressure on emergency departments, fewer sick days and more lives saved. ... See MoreSee Less

I am deeply saddened, along with millions of Australians and with people across the world, by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis was a beacon of humility, compassion and unwavering faith. His life was devoted to serving others, offering hope to the marginalised, and reminding the world of the power of mercy, forgiveness and love.
As the first Pope from the Jesuit order and the first from the Americas, he brought fresh leadership to the Church and reached people far beyond its walls. His example of simplicity and service will continue to inspire generations to come.
At this time of mourning, I offer my condolences to Australians of Catholic faith and all those who feel his loss so deeply. We give thanks for his extraordinary life of service and pray that he now rests in the eternal peace of Christ. ... See MoreSee Less

My deepest condolences to the catholic across the world
Am not a Catholic but really respected & loved him. Sympathy to all Catholics.
The @worlds_biggest_paddleout on 15 March at Cronulla Beach didn’t just set a new world record - 1027 - for participants in a single paddle out - it also raised $54,000 for youth mental health programs - @findyafeet and @onewaveisallittakes .
Great work @blakeyjohnston and @laurenjohnston123 ! ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations on this magnificent effort
Congratulations great cause
Massive effort and well done Blakey Johnston and your team. Keep up the great work helping others .
Please take the initiative and develop a clear infrastructure vision for Sydney. The current government has no transport plans and is considering rezoning the land above Central Station back to rail use. Mark Speakman, take control by presenting a bold plan to build and win the next election.
