Vital intersection upgrade to be delivered in Morisset

The busy intersection connecting Wyee Road and Alliance Avenue in Morisset will receive a multi-million-dollar upgrade, thanks to Lake Macquarie City Council and the NSW Government.  

Development contributions and private investment will also fund the intersection upgrade, which will cater to the significant growth experienced in Morisset.  

The intersection will boast a new road to the Cedar Mill entertainment venue, to further boost connectivity.  

Lake Macquarie Mayor Adam Shultz said the upgrade would help unlock more homes and build stronger communities. 

“Morisset is a key growth area and it’s important that we have the infrastructure to support new developments, such as residential lots, now and into the future,” he said.  

“As we see the population of our city increase, it’s important we have more homes, services and enabling infrastructure, so that young people, families, workers and our elderly have the opportunity to have a great life and live right here in Lake Macquarie.” 

Lake Macquarie City Council will host a forum in April 2025 to further address housing concerns across the city.   

“The forum will bring together key stakeholders including affordable housing providers, not for profit community organisations, the development industry and government,” he said. 

The NSW Government is contributing $2.5 million in funds to the project through its State Voluntary Planning Agreement Funding Program.  

Independent Member for Lake Macquarie Greg Piper said the state Government's investment in roads at Morisset is vital. 

"With construction underway on the Archer’s Run lifestyle village and Cedar Mill, we can expect heavy use of the intersection at Wyee Road and Alliance Avenue. This upgrade will help ensure it is safe and can better manage the ballooning number of road users."  

"Morisset is experiencing large-scale growth in housing and commercial and industrial precincts. This development must be supported by reliable, efficient and integrated transport infrastructure.” 

"Along with frustrated local residents, I have been calling for action to address growing traffic issues in this area for a long time.”
