Motorists are set to experience reduced congestion on the Kingsway from next month, with planned parking changes between Wallumatta Road and Gannons Road, Caringbah.
The proposed work will extend to Wallumatta Road the existing No Stopping zone eastbound at the Kingsway/Gannons Road intersection.
The changes are designed to improve traffic flow through the intersection, especially for cars turning left into Gannons Road northbound.
The parking changes are not expected to have a major impact on residential parking as the majority of residents in the area already have off-street parking.
The new signage will be installed in early August, weather permitting.
Anyone who has any questions or feedback on the plan is encouraged to contact the Roads and Maritime Services project team by Friday 19 July 2019.
To give feedback, residents can contact the project team by phone on 0429 127 648, by email at NetworkSydney.south@rms.nsw.gov.au or in writing to Network and Safety Services Team – South East Precinct Roads and Maritimes Services PO Box 973 Parramatta NSW 2124.

Sydney's transport mess? Blame NSW Labor. Decades of bad decisions have left the city struggling: 🚋 1950s – Scrapped Sydney’s world-class tram network, replacing it with gridlock. 🚆 1970s – Cut the Eastern Suburbs rail line short, leaving it half-finished. 🚫 1990s – Did nothing for public transport expansion. 🛤️ 2000s – Built half a rail link to Epping, then abandoned the rest. ❌ Today – Under Minns, there are no new metro or rail projects planned. Sydney deserves better #SydneyTransport #NSWPolitics #LaborFails

💜 I’m thrilled to announce, in the lead up to International Women’s Day, that Wanda Surf Life Saving Club President Fiona Sutton is the 2025 Cronulla Woman of the Year.
Fiona is a remarkable leader who has quietly made a difference to life in the Sutherland Shire over many years.
She’s been an active volunteer and leader at Wanda.
A driving force in Wanda’s ‘nippers’ that introduces children aged 5 to 14 to surf lifesaving, one of Fiona’s proudest achievements as Chair of the club’s Junior Activities Group is the successful introduction of the inclusive and accessible ‘Red Fins’ program.
Once a nipper herself, Fiona holds 13 surf lifesaving awards and a Bronze Medallion in Public Safety and Aquatic Rescue.
Fiona is also an active member of Wanda’s surf patrols.
Fiona runs her own successful business ‘The Music Bus’.
She’s been described by the Wanda club as an inspirational leader, much loved mum, and friend to all in in the club family and beyond.
Fiona’s enthusiastic and friendly way is appreciated by many in the Shire. ... See MoreSee Less

Helloooo Helen Forsythe
It’s pure and simple—if Labor doesn’t invest in new metro lines, that’s it. I’m voting Liberal because they will.
