SYDNEY ROAD TOLLS SURGE INTO 2023 – LARGEST EVER SINGLE TOLL INCREASE
 

Sydney road tolls are surging into 2023, with tolls increasing at a rate almost double the previous year, analysis from NSW Labor reveals.

Westconnex tolls on the M4, M5 East and M8 will increase by a whopping 6.1 per cent in one go – the largest ever single toll increase.

Sydney commuters can expect to be slammed with an average annual toll bill* of over $4,500, on the WestConnex M4 alone, in 2023.

Commuters who use the Hills M2 or Northconnex will see their average annual toll bill surge by almost $300 this year.

Five of the city’s toll roads will see an increase of over seven per cent – this is almost double the rate of toll increases last year.

Meanwhile Northconnex will have seen quarterly toll increases totalling 7.35 per cent over the past year.

NSW Labor says the NSW Liberals’ addiction to privatising the state’s toll roads has left Sydney road users vulnerable to sever price shocks, with all of it going to private operators.

NSW Labor has committed to keeping the Harbour Bridge and Tunnel in public hands, and putting toll revenue back into toll relief.
