Live Traffic NSW Update

The latest updates to the Live Traffic NSW website and app residents and visitors only need to go to one source to find out the latest road closure/incident information for the Warrumbungle Shire Council Area.

“Council has been working closely with the NSW Government on the Live Traffic NSW website and app for updates within the Warrumbungle Shire,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “This now means that Live Traffic NSW will be the main source of information for road closures, emergency road incidents, adverse weather conditions and community events effecting the roads throughout the Local Government Area.” 

“Council will be directly updating the road closure information as soon as it comes in onto the Live Traffic platform, so users can expect real time information about incidents and changes in traffic conditions that may impact their travels.”

Council will no longer be sending out media releases to community members and key stakeholders regarding road closure information. Instead, everyone will be directed to the Live Traffic website for this information.

Over the next 12 months Council will also be expanding their information in Live Traffic to include other events such as scheduled roadworks, which will make it easier for travelers and community members to make the best possible travel decisions when traveling across the Local Government Area. 

The overall management of Live Traffic NSW is undertaken by the Traffic Management Centre (TMC), which is a NSW Government Agency and Council is already a key agency working with the TMC. This relationship has only been strengthened by Council now using Live Traffic NSW to record local road closure information. “This partnership supports the goal, and that of the of other key agencies, to maximise the safety and efficiency of the NSW road network,” Cr Doolan concluded.
