How to Help

March 2021 Update: This petition may no longer be activeOn 16th September 2020 the upper house of the NSW Parliament voted to conduct a full investigation of this project:

That this House calls on the Government to:

(a) (this phrase deleted by an amendment from original motion put by Ms Boyd: "halt construction of the Great Western Highway duplication until") [conduct] a comprehensive analysis, including socio‑economic and environmental impacts, is undertaken for an integrated transport approach to freight and passenger movements between the Central West and the New South Wales Coast, including implications and opportunities arising from imminent and planned State and Federal Government enhancements to rail freight capacity such as the Inland Rail freight line; and

(b)explore the feasibility of upgrading the Blue Mountains rail line to expand freight and passenger capacity.

(c)support the rail freight capacity in the Hunter Valley to allow the construction of the Port of Newcastle Container Terminal."

which is what this author has been calling for since late 2019. Thanks Abigail Boyd, MLC.

But the issue needs to go to the lower house AND to a parliamentary inquiry, as well and in its original wording
