Our objective is to achieve an evidence-based solution

TELL YOUR FRIENDS HOW EASY THIS WAS, AND
ASK THEM TO CONTACT COUNCILLORS TOO!
Demand rigorous investigations
​into all aspects of this project, including:
​​
-
Safety of proposed MRPV design, what studies have been undertaken, and who remains accountable if there is an increase in accidents?
-
Traffic forecasting for this project appears to be flawed, raising questions about the business case for the project. Forecasts that are consistent with the North East Link must be used.
-
Governance and transparency, including why most documents and related information are withheld from the public, and requests for such information are being impeded.
-
Environmental Management Strategy and relevant EPBC referrals must be completed satisfactorily and available to the public
-
Financial management and accountability - why spend this much money on a roundabout when the North-East Link will solve most problems for the foreseeable future?
-
Community consultation was poorly managed - better efforts are needed
-
Viable alternatives such as those already presented by experienced engineers should be developed using accurate modelling, safety considerations, and sustainability measures.
