New South Wales Premier Chris Minns extends toll cap, aiming to alleviate financial burden on drivers, particularly in Western Sydney and Central Coast. The cap, currently set at $60 per week, allows drivers to claim up to $340 after spending $60 on tolls. However, the Premier warns that maintaining this cap may lead to a significant change in toll rates on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. To fund the cap permanently, the government is considering two-way tolling on the bridge and other harbor crossings. A new government-owned toll road company has been established to manage future projects. A decision on funding changes is expected soon.
