Overview
- Two-way tolling on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel will begin when the Western Harbour Tunnel opens in late 2028.
- The $60-per-week toll cap is now permanent, with rebates available through Service NSW and a new annual relief limit of $5,000.
- Administration fees on toll notices will be scrapped from mid-2026 after 46 million notices carried $618 million in fees last financial year, with early text and email alerts and tougher enforcement to follow.
- Government estimates suggest bidirectional harbour charges could raise about $145 million a year, with proceeds directed to ongoing toll relief focused on western Sydney drivers.
- The Western Harbour Tunnel is a $7.4 billion, 6.5-kilometre link between WestConnex and the Warringah Freeway, and broader tolling negotiations with Transurban are slated to conclude by mid-2026.
