Transport Advocacy

Our work is driven by a simple, powerful belief:

The Illawarra, South Coast and Highlands deserve the same access to opportunity, infrastructure, jobs and services as any globally competitive region.

We are one economic region anchored by the Port Kembla Port and 3 international airports. The region is experiencing significant transformation, demographic change, major industry shifts, and increasing demand for better transport, housing, health, education and economic infrastructure. With the right planning and investment, this growth represents enormous potential.

To realise that potential, we advocate for world‑class transport links that connect our people to jobs, services and markets.
