Today marks the end of the first 12 months of our demerit point scheme, and more than 1 million people will be rewarded with having a demerit point wiped from their licence.

Today is also the beginning of the next 12 months of the trial, which means anyone who has a demerit point on their licence is now eligible to get one removed if they remain offence-free for the next 12 months. It’s a good challenge to take up. Succeed, and our roads are safer.

When you’re on the road this Christmas, it’s more important than ever to drive carefully. The decisions you make can save lives.

Remember to buckle up, plan your trip, take breaks and check your speed. When it’s wet, slow down and drive to the conditions. And never drink and drive.

1.3 million NSW motorists are still eligible to have a demerit point removed from their licence, if they remain infringement free until January 17. This is about reducing the road toll at a critical time. The more people who qualify for a point, the safer our roads will be.

Our $60 toll cap will officially begin on January 1. That’s something to look forward to for motorists, who will get some much needed relief.

Overheight truck incidents in Sydney’s tunnel network have fallen to the lowest total in 7 years.   This is good news and means our zero-tolerance approach is paying dividends. But we will not claim victory because just one incident can ruin the day of thousands of drivers.

Thanks to the huge efforts of truckies, the industry, Transport for NSW, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, NSW Police and the TWU on this progress.   This will remain a focus in 2024.

Work to add capacity to the City West Link has been completed overnight, thanks to our extremely hardworking TfNSW work crew staff. This morning we have noticed an improvement in traffic flows from City West Link on to Anzac Bridge. I again thank all motorists for their patience.

Dropped in to @bayvistaparramatta to marvel at their Rocky Mountains Ice Cream Bowl and chat about our streamlined approach to permit outdoor dining. We are making outdoor dining permanent across NSW, with a law change to cement temporary arrangements introduced during COVID-19.

When William Tyree was eight, he built his mum a toaster while. This was just the beginning. The Sir William Tyree Foundation is partnering with @Powerhouseparramatta to launch the Tyree Gallery & Engineering Summit, and with @TAFENSW for workshops in Western Sydney schools.
