Thousands of motorists in the State Electorate of Prospect will benefit from new toll relief under the NSW Government’s $60 motorway toll cap.
The toll cap will benefit an estimated 720,000 households across the state, with private motorists able to claim back spend above $60 a week via a quarterly refund from Service NSW.
The cashback scheme will start from January 1, helping to ease cost-of-living pressures for many Prospect Electorate families.
Qualifying motorists in the Prospect Electorate are expected to be eligible to claim on average $438 back in 2024 and again in 2025.
Modelling estimates that 15,771 households would qualify under the Minns Government toll cap for toll relief in the Prospect Electorate.
Overall, Prospect Electorate is expected to receive approximately $6.9 million in toll relief.
Detail on how to apply and how the scheme will operate will be announced in coming weeks.
Dr Hugh McDermott MP said:
“Reducing the toll burden through this $60 cap is a fantastic outcome for hard hit motorists in the Prospect Electorate, as well as motorists in Western Sydney.
“We can look forward to the New Year when money will be going back into the pockets of drivers who frequently use our toll roads.
“It’s important the people of in the Prospect Electorate can get around Sydney safely and efficiently on our roads without being weighed down by toll costs at the end of each week.
“This relief is targeted to benefit drivers incurring the highest toll costs.”
NSW Minister for Roads, John Graham said:
“The NSW Government is proud to deliver on this commitment to deliver more toll relief into the pockets of private motorists in the Prospect Electorate”.
“The $60 toll cap is part of ending an era in which government placed more emphasis on growing toll revenue than on helping people get around Sydney without breaking the bank.
“People in NSW are doing it tough right now with the cost of living rising sharply across Australia and new toll relief is one measures the Minns Government is taking to make life a little easier for many.”
