Work is now underway on a “once-in-a-generation” road infrastructure project designed to unlock access to one of Western Australia’s fastest-growing regions. The $1-billion Tonkin Highway Extension and Thomas Road Upgrade will deliver a new 14-kilometre highway connection and significantly expand capacity in Perth’s south-east corridor, with completion targeted for late 2028.

A vast section of BlueScope’s Port Kembla steelworks, comparable in size to Sydney’s CBD, is set for transformation after the NSW government approved the rezoning of 2 million square metres of non-operational industrial land. The proposal paves the way for a $10 billion employment hub spanning advanced manufacturing, clean energy, technology, education and logistics.

When fully implemented, it will be one of the largest digital health programs ever undertaken in Australia.
