(a)-(g) I table the ‘What we heard summary report’, which is available on the Main Roads project page.
Environmental approvals will be progressed should construction funding be confirmed for the project in the future.
There is an existing reservation in the Metropolitan Region Scheme which provides statutory planning protection. The Eastlink project has developed an Ultimate Design Concept which requires additional land. Main Roads intends to seek approval through the Western Australian Planning Commission to implement a Planning Control Area to provide statutory planning protection for this land.
