Wants Bowraville Road reopened

A meeting to discuss the future of the Bowraville/Bellingen Road was held on Wednesday, August 4 in the Bowraville Theatre at Bowraville. ghd straighteners

The meeting was well attended by representatives of both Bellingen and Nambucca Councils, the RTA, GHD and many community members. GHD presented the meeting with four options for discussion.

It soon became clear that most community members prefer the road to be restored and reopened. The road has historical significance, it is a vital link connecting regional communities, it is the only alternative route at times when the Pacific Highway is blocked between Urunga and Macksville, and it gives emergency services access to remote properties and bushland, and it is an important part of the Mid North Coast “tourist drives” network.

GHD have asked both councils to include an updated version of the questionnaire regarding options for the future, on their web sites, and invite members of the community in both shires to voice their opinion by filling in the questionnaire.

Community members at the meeting urge readers to take the time to fill in this questionnaire as it is only the community strength and solidarity that can prevent the RTA from permanently closing this road. Billig ugg Stiefe

The RTA has the last say - without proof of community support for the reopening of the road, our community stands to lose part of the regional road infrastructure that dates back to the 1800s.

They also urge readers that may not have access to the internet, to take a walk into the council chambers and ask for a hard copy of the questionnaire.
