South Kempsey to Frederickton Corridor Strategy

Scheduled to open in mid–2013, the first stage of the RTA’s South Kempsey to Eungai Upgrade of the Pacific Highway will bypass a 13 km section of the Pacific Highway between the villages of South Kempsey and Frederickton, and including the town centre of Kempsey.

Kempsey Shire Council responded to the challenges posed by the scheduled Bypass, with the adoption of the comprehensive Kempsey Bypass Strategy in May 2011, and is now undertaking an implementation program for the key actions identified in the Strategy.

Key actions to be undertaken as part of the Strategy include:

  • the preparation of an all-inclusive urban design master plan for the corridor to be completed in 2012
  • detailed design for the five corridor precincts to be completed in 2013
  • preparation of Development Control Plans for South Kempsey, Kempsey and Frederickton, and
  • development of a public participation, consultation and information program

Over the term of the project this site will provide information and updates on the progress of the implementation strategy and provide channel for feedback from the community.
