2022 UCI Road World Championships

31 August 2022

Dear family member/resident representative,

You may be aware that Wollongong is the host city for the 2022 Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Road World Championships, an international road cycling event, from 17 to 25 September.

The Championships feature a number of races that will take place on the streets around the Wollongong CBD and surrounding suburbs across the week.

The event will result in temporary changes to transport and traffic flow in areas of the Illawarra, which may affect access to your loved one’s care centre during the week of the event.

Plan ahead

If you are visiting your loved one’s aged care centre during the week of the Championships, I encourage you to become familiar with expected road closures and changed traffic conditions prior to your trip. You may need to consider an alternate route and allow extra travel time for your journey.

Our operations in the northern suburbs of the Illawarra may experience some minor disruptions as a result of limited access due to road closures and changed traffic conditions on the final weekend of the Championships, 24-25 September.

Some key points that may assist you when planning activities for the week include:

  • Roads are open before and after event times each day;
  • Event times differ, and each day roads will be open typically before 8am and after 6pm;
  • There will be no street parking on roads used for the races;
  • Please consider rescheduling any non-essential appointments for that week as transport from your loved one’s care centre may be limited and some services may be closed as a result of the event.
