PUBLIC MEETING - THE F6 AND SYDNEY'S TRANSPORT FUTURE

Tuesday, 21 June 2005 10:00

Coinciding with the launching of the campaign against the proposed F6 Motorway Sutherland Shire Environment Centre and the Total Environment Centre will hold an important meeting to discuss this issue at Parliament House on Thursday evening from 6-8pm.

Sutherland Shire Environment Centre Patron Bob Walshe said "The meeting will provide a forum for giving voice to community opposition to the proposed motorway".

"The F6 would destroy sensitive wetlands, damage the Royal National Park, require demolition of hundreds of homes and create a traffic congestion nightmare in the Sutherland Shire", Mr Walshe said.

The meeting will also make clear that the proposed F6 has wider implications for Sydney as a whole.

TEC Director Jeff Angel said "Building more roads is a failed and discredited approach to addressing Sydney's transport needs. The F6 will simply worsen chronic traffic congestion and air pollution throughout Sydney. This project must immediately be scrapped in favour of sustainable public transport solutions".

The meeting will be addressed by speakers including Jack Mundey, Transport Planner Michelle Ziebots, TEC Director Jeff Angel, and Member for Miranda Barry Collier MP. It will chaired by Elsa Atkin, Executive Director National Trust (NSW).

The meeting will be held in the NSW Parliament House Theatrette, Macquarie Street Sydney. Enquiries and registration - Sutherland Shire Environment Centre 9545 3077
