About the Project

Council is making Terry Street, Wiley Street, and Hughes Drive safer for everyone. This work is funded through the NSW Government’s Towards Zero – Safer Roads Program. Over the past few years, more than a dozen crashes happened in a short section of Terry Street.

The upgrades will:

  • Improve safety for drivers and pedestrians
  • Make crossings and paths accessible for people with disabilities
  • Improve traffic flow around the shopping centre

What's included in the project:

  • The installation of a roundabout at T-intersection of Terry Street and Hughes Drive
  • Implementation of one-way traffic flow within the shopping car park
  • Installation of a raised pedestrian crossing at Wiley Street
  • Accessible paths, ramps, and shared-use links for pedestrians
  • Installing shared use path links to each of the upgraded crossing points
  • Implementing left turn only on some side roads
  • Relocating the existing bus shelter

Project FAQs

Terry Street, between Wiley Street and Simpson Parade in Albion Park, has experienced several crashes and near misses. To improve safety for drivers and pedestrians, Council secured funding under the 2021/22 NSW Road Safety Program to carry out targeted upgrades.

The project focuses on enhancing safety at the intersection of Terry Street and Hughes Drive, a key route connecting Jamberoo and Albion Park. It also addresses areas with high pedestrian activity, including the local business centre, by improving accessibility, pedestrian safety, and traffic flow. These upgrades will benefit residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

To control traffic into the shops, and subsequently improve road safety in the area, a physical median has been installed to remove the right turn into the shop car park. The roundabout at the intersection of Smith Avenue/Terry Street can be utilised for traffic wishing to use the shopping centre car park from the north.

Yes, there will be permanent changes as part of the new design.

As part of these upgrades, several on-street parking spaces along Terry Street and Wiley Street will be removed. Council has aimed to minimise the impact, but the installation of the roundabout, traffic blisters, and wombat crossings means some spaces will be lost. This is to ensure compliance with pedestrian 'sight distance' requirements, manage vehicular queue lengths, and make way for the upgrades.

Yes, the bus stop at the corner of Terry Street and Wiley Street (Stop 76/77) will be moved at the start of construction due to the roundabout installation. Its new permanent location will be about 60 metres north.

A new bus shelter will be installed at the new stop, and the existing shelter will be removed. The bus stop will remain fully operational, and Premier are aware of the change.
