Sydney Drivers Could Be Leaving Money on the Table

Motorists across Sydney, especially those in Western Sydney suburbs, are reaping the benefits of the NSW Government’s $60 weekly toll cap. However, with over $140 million in rebates still unclaimed, many drivers may be missing out on substantial toll relief.

  • Blacktown – $1.25 million claimed
  • Baulkham Hills – $1.23 million claimed
  • Auburn – $1.06 million claimed
  • Merrylands – $1 million claimed
  • Marsden Park – $1 million claimed

Despite these high figures, many eligible motorists have yet to claim their rebates. The government has allocated a total of $215 million for toll relief, with only $75 million paid out so far.

Government Response

Minister for Roads John Graham emphasized the importance of the toll cap in easing cost-of-living pressures:

"The $60 toll cap is a critical support for thousands of drivers who rely on Sydney’s toll roads to get to work and transport their families."

Minister for Customer Service Jihad Dib highlighted the importance of Western Sydney in the rebate scheme:

"The data shows drivers from the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, and Wollongong are also benefiting, proving just how far the relief extends."
