Sydney road tolls to keep rising after Transurban blocks reforms

Sydney's toll roads will continue to rise significantly, with WestConnex facing at least 4% annual increases, as the state government's reform efforts have been hindered by private operator Transurban. While a limited number of motorways will receive one-off toll cuts, the broader tolling burden on Sydney taxpayers continues to exceed $1 billion. The announcement reveals tensions between the Labor government and the multinational toll operator over proposed regulatory changes.
