Say NO to East-West Tunnels - Brumby's Transport Summit Protest

Say NO to East-West Tunnels
YES to Public Transport

Community Protest
Brumby’s Transport Summit
Friday, 5 September 2008, Telstra Dome

As you know the Brumby government has been staging transport forums organised by the Department of Transport, ostensibly to consult with the public on Victoria's Transport Plan.

Members of Parliament with inner metropolitan seats - namely Bronwyn Pike (Melbourne), Richard Wynne (Richmond) and Carlo Carli (Brunswick) have belatedly and at extremely short notice, held their own forums last week.

These forums, are intended to provide community feedback for the Premier's Transport Summit, which was scheduled for mid September. Although the MP's declared that their forums were for local residents they were by invitation only and, significantly many community organisations, individuals and local residents were refused admittance.

The Royal Park Protection Group (RPPG) and Yarra Campaign Against Tunnels (YCAT) are, in consultation, with resident and environmental groups in the East and West of Melbourne facilitating a Community Protest for Resident, Community, Environment Groups and concerned individuals at the Premier's Transport Summit.
