Lives in limbo as north Sydney’s ‘divisive’ Beaches Link tunnel stalls | angus_dalton MeganGorrey
Robinson said the decision to stall the project had raised hope her family could possibly purchase their house.“Because I mean, what are the government going to do now they’ve got all these houses that they’ve bought? They’re going to have to sell them aren’t they?”
Dudley Street resident Rowan Romuld, whose home was marked for demolition, said he was preparing to move to North Manly despite the project being delayed.“That’s government. Things come and go and projects come on board and projects get cancelled. And that’s just the way it is.” Romuld said at first, he was excited at the prospect of the government buying him out of his home of seven years, but the process “wasn’t much fun”.The Perrottet government says it remains committed to building the motorway to reduce congestion on Military Road.Mosman mayor Carolyn Corrigan said the lower north shore council was “very disappointed” the project had been paused given it was intended to mitigate long-term congestion on the Spit Bridge and Military Road.
“While council respects the independent recommendation, we strongly urge the NSW government to continue looking for alternative solutions, such as boosting transport links between Dee Why and Chatswood.”’s Infrastructure Summit last week, Perrottet also said residents on the Northern Beaches should “for sure” be prepared to accept higher density development should the project be built.
Infrastructure and Cities Minister Rob Stokes, who is Pittwater MP, said the motorway would be “retrofitting for growth that has already occurred”.“Any government or opposition that tried that shit on would have an absolute nightmare dealing with us,” he said.
