The $60 per week toll cap was to expire by December 31, 2025 but Premier Chris Minns believed that the toll rebate scheme had to continue due to the unfairness of the tolling system and cost of living pressures on Western Sydney residents.
Stephen Bali MP, Member for Blacktown, said he “was proud to be part of a Minns Labor Government that is bring back fairness into the tolling system.”
“The burden of road user charges disproportionately fell on Western Sydney residents whilst north shore residents were effectively subsidised by everyone else.”
The suburb of Blacktown ranked first in the State seeing 5,648 claims paid amounting to over $2.27M, or an average of $402 per claim.
The cap was first introduced in January 2024 as a temporary measure and was a major election commitment of the then- Labor Opposition.
The program has since returned more than $211.4M to the pockets of drivers across the State, particularly in Western Sydney.
Marsden Park was second highest in the LGA seeing 3,807 claims paid totalling over $1.72M, or an average of $453 per claim.
Quakers Hill ranked third in the LGA with 3,739 claims totalling $1.4M savings, an average of $377 per claim followed by Glenwood with 2,502 claims totalling $904,600, an average of $362 per claim.
The NSW Government will introduce two-way tolling on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel from late 2028 to fund the toll cap indefinitely.
This brings those toll roads in line with all others across Sydney ensuring commuters from Western Sydney are not unfairly burdened by tolls.
