Newly-elected Premier Chris Minns said his government intends to introduce its $60 toll cap at the beginning of 2024.
Under the plan, drivers would not need to pay more than $60 per week in tolls, in a plan managed by Service NSW.
The Premier said prior to the election the government also intended to appoint Professor Allan Fels AO, the former chairman of the ACCC, to lead an overhaul of Sydney’s roads, including leading negotiations with toll operators.
Prior to the election, Mr Minns also promised to reveal the multibillion-dollar toll deals, including Transurban, WestConnex and NorthConnex.
