The original road was built entirely by voluntary labour and Acting Queensland Premier , William Forgan Smith , officially opened on 11 June 1927, the 100-year anniversary of Allan Cunningham's supposed discovery of Cunningham's Gap. Actually, Cunningham discovered two gaps, Spicer's Gap on 11 June 1827 as he approached from the Darling Downs side and Cunningham's Gap on 21 August 1828 as he approached from Ipswich . However, Cunningham mistakenly believed he had found both sides of

The term " Sea Highway "
1704-558: The 1920s, with the federal government contributing to major roads managed by the state and territory governments. However, the Federal Government did not completely fund any roads until 1974, when the Whitlam government introduced the National Roads Act 1974 . Under the act, the states were still responsible for road construction and maintenance, but were fully compensated for money spent on approved projects. In 1977,
1775-603: The 1974 Act was replaced by the State Grants (Roads) Act 1977 , which contained similar provisions for the definition of "National Highways". In 1988, the National Highway became redefined under the Australian Land Transport Development (ALTD) Act 1988 , which had various amendments up to 2003. The 1988 Act was largely concerned with funding road development in cooperation with the state governments. The federal transport minister defined

All of the existing routes of the National Highway prior to 2005 were included in the new network.

The following roads in and around Sydney are currently part of the designated National Land Transport Network In addition to the network of federally funded National Highways defined in 1974, there was also a system of "national routes".

2201-429: The Minister's opinion, was important enough to be a National Highway. Subsequent replacement legislation in 1977, 1988, and 2005, along with other intervening amendments, contained similar provisions.

The original components of

2343-524: The National Highway were officially declared on 20 September 1974, as "links" and terminated at the edge of each capital city. The parts of the routes within the major urban areas were not defined as National Highways, and the Sturt and Newell highway routes were not included in the original 1974 network. In June 1995, as a condition of federal funding, the National Highway route in New South Wales
