G'dmornin all,
Just wanted to let you know that the Wednesday night meeting at Whitehorse
Council Offices, Nunawading, was a resounding success. I do not have the
numbers, but my estimate would have been about 600+ people squashed into the
main hall and out into the foyer. The indication from committee members is that
the Government is leaning towards allocating more than the initial $255 million
for the freeway, so that it can be tunnelled underground. The final decision on
how the freeway is constructed will be known any day now, as the project is
going out for tender in October, with construction to start
November/December.
I encourage everyone to lobby and keep the pressure on the State
Government, via email, letters, publicity, etc...why not even ring up Jeff on
3AW's Thursday morning talkback with Neil Mitchell. One of the committee members
jokingly stated that the Government is already sick to death of the bucket loads
of letters they have been receiving.
As I may have mentioned before, the area under question contains nationally
significant vegetation and is a haven for the Powerful Owl.Thankyou in advance
for your efforts.
Uroo, Nigel Sterpin
