This FOI release contains internal Department of Infrastructure communications from March 2025 regarding funding for the westbound overpass on the New England Highway at Maitland Station. A March 20 email from Jessica Hall corrects a media report, clarifying that the government's commitment to the project is $100 million, not $10 million as initially stated in Coalition election commitments and media releases. Subsequent correspondence from March 27 references updating "Corridor attachments" for PEFO 2025 (Pre-Election Financial Obligations), with the $100 million NSW allocation for the Maitland Roundabout westbound overpass listed in a table. The discrepancy between the originally announced $10 million and the subsequently stated $100 million commitment represents a significant revision to the project's funding scope during the lead-up to the 2025 election period.
