General Information:

B65 is a major coastal north-south route through the Illawarra region, south of Sydney.

It consists of a mix of undivided 2-lane and 4-lane roads and divided arterial roads, which pass through residential, commercial and heavy industrial areas. The route sees a mix of local and commuter traffic along with large volumes of truck traffic servicing Port Kembla and the BHP Biliton Steelworks. The route between Bulli Tops and Bulli, and also through Shellharbour, originally formed part of the main route between Sydney and the New South Wales South Coast, but was superseded by the Princes Motorway (M1) as the main link through the Illawarra. Some of the route forms part of Grand Pacific Drive.

Multiplexes along the route include:
