As part of the wider plan in the construction and development of the Tamworth Global Gateway Park including the Tamworth Freight Rail Facility, Jewry Street will be extended to join with Wallamore Road and act as a heavy vehicle bypass of Taminda.The project will include a roundabout at the intersection of Dampier and Jewry Street to allow for B-Double access.

The new roadway providing a route around Taminda’s industrial streets will improve safety for road users and reduce the impact of the expected increase in volume of traffic and heavy vehicles accessing the Tamworth Global Gateway Park and Intermodal Freight Facility.

A roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Dampier Street and Jewry Street, with the road to be extended from this point past Kingsford Smith Street and directly through to Wallamore Road in the direction of the Tamworth Global Gateway Park. Upon completion of the project, Wallamore Road will only be accessible via the new roundabout, with a cul-de-sac to be installed on Wallamore Road after Kingsford Smith Street to restrict access at this location.

The Jewry Street Extension is part of the Tamworth Global Gateway Park project which received $20.246 million from the NSW Government’s Growing Local Economies Fund.

The $500 million Growing Local Economies Fund is part of the NSW Government’s commitment to the delivery of infrastructure projects which improve the productivity and competitiveness of the state under Restart NSW.

Construction began in December 2022, with the build expected to be completed in late 2023.
