Construction has begun on the Yellow Rock Road upgrade in Tullimbar, with Member for Whitlam Carol Berry MP and Shellharbour City Mayor Chris Homer pitching in at a ground‑breaking ceremony, on 13 February.
Cleary Bros has been appointed to deliver the works, which will improve Yellow Rock Road between the Illawarra Highway and Araluen Terrace, making the road safer for drivers and more accessible for pedestrians.
The project will widen over 600 metres of Yellow Rock Road and include new kerb and guttering. The road will be re-graded, with more car parking spaces added and better stormwater infrastructure and lighting. Intersections will be upgraded and access points added, with provisions to encourage active transport such as building a pedestrian refuge and creating a shared path.
New signage and line marking will also be installed.

The project is funded through the Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program and Roads to Recovery program, with $8.15 million in federal funding, supported by $2.75 million from Shellharbour City Council.
Ms Berry said the upgrade was a “significant investment in local safety and liveability” and would make “a real difference to safety and traffic flow”.
Mayor Homer thanked the Albanese Government for its support. “We’re grateful for this partnership, which will help us deliver safer, more accessible connections for the growing Tullimbar community.”
