Key points
- We support the East-West Link
- Chronic congestion in such an important economic location
must be resolved

- Road capacity must be enhanced
- The proposal enhances road capacity and has an enduring
impact on accessibility in the area

- If this is a nationally significant project:
- 1. Objections must be nationally significant.

- 2. Outcomes must also be nationally significant.

- To be nationally significant, East West must connect the
nationally significant transport network – Support movement between State Highways – Extend further east
