No community consultation - I always though this process was meant to liaise with the community, to see how affected they may be regarding a project.

In the case of the WestConnex there has been no consultation with the communities involved.

The WestConnex and NSW Government has failed miserably in this essential fielded of communication instead it has adopted bullying tactics to get which are usually criminal things through.
I don't believe the WestConnex will fix road congestion for one second as there are other ways of doing better business with the public's needs.

Another reason not to support the NSW effort to waste public monies.

This submission is relative to the destruction / loss of public lands at Sydney Park.
The Westconnex will destroy 14000 square metres of public space (public owned) and at least 350 mature trees just to widen roads.
The largest plot to be acquired is just north of the industrial Campbell Road in St Peters, and adjacent to one of the park's wetland lakes. According to the environmental impact statement for the M5 East section of the WestConnex motorway, this area is intended to be used as a construction site and will be returned as parkland.
It is another shameful example of the wonton destruction of our city environment for a road which according to the government will look better than a park.
Along with the accompanying health issues for locals, it is a shocking outcome for our future. It is just another reason among hundreds ($Billions) to stop this dishonest project.

I am absolutely opposed to the government compulsorily acquiring precious public land for a 1950s motorway that will increase, not reduce, congestion.

The Westconnex plan involves the use of precious public land for a motorway that will increase, not reduce, congestion. The government's own Environmental Impact Statement for the spaghetti style interchange next to Sydney Park doesn't include an adequate traffic assessment of surrounding local roads or a detailed assessment of Green Square - one of the country's biggest redevelopment sites in the country.
Independent research shows thousands of additional vehicles will pour out of the Interchange into surrounding suburbs like Green Square, Alexandria, Erskineville, Ashmore and Redfern, which are already heavily congested. Euston Road and Campbell Road will become six lane highways, with traffic on Euston Road increasing from 5,000 to over 50,000 vehicles a day.
This massive project isn't needed and the costs can't be justified!
Instead this money should be spent on sustainable PEOPLE-CENTRIC and not CAR-CENTRIC infrastructure. This means providing fast, clean, and safe alternatives to car transport. With increasing population density, the destruction of people's living environments for the purpose of more roads is a dead-end strategy!
I demand that this government looks at some best in class sustainable solutions that have been implemented in other parts of the world to solve accessibility problems. Sydney deserves better than a backward and outdated motorway project that will just be the start of a multitude of problems further down the line.

If Westconnex wasn't already controversial enough, now you wish to take away public land for what will realistically be a private motorway. The environmental impact statement has not been rigorous enough if a recommendation to build a multi-lane vehicle interchange on top of some of the best Public land works in all of Sydney, that services all kinds of users from across the entire city is the favoured option. Sydney Park is used every day for all kinds of uses, but especially for the healthy and free entertainment of children. Reducing its size and increasing proximity to mass volume of vehicles will destroy its amenity, increase safety and security concerns and increase exposure to harmful chemicals through increased vehicle exhaust and reduced trees to battle the increased air pollution.
I have never supported WestConnex but now am even more vehemently opposed to it.

The proposed road changes in the inner west of Sydney are not acceptable. It is not at all clear the WestConnext is needed, and there has been almost no discussion of alternate options for traffic or using the 16+ billion dollars to provide public and goods transport within the greater Sydney area

I object in the strongest possible terms to the WestConnex St Peters Interchange and indeed anything to go with WestConnex.
Modern fast public transport is the best alternative.This frees up the roads for commercial purposes and gets people to work safely and efficiently.
The City of Sydney has just spent 10 million dollars on Sydney Park. It is magnificent, is people oriented and provides breathing space for inner city suburbs which are overwhelmed by traffic already.
More and more people are moving into Erskineville, Alexandria Green Square etc with the most amazing proliferation of high rise apartments in history.
HUMAN BEINGS NEED GREEN SPACE AND CLEAN AIR.
WE OBJECT TO WESTCONNEX TOTALLY

I'll keep this short and to the point. I would like to register my frustration and anger regarding the West Connex project and clearly state my opposition to it continuing. It is a poorly planned and outdated concept that will dramatically and negatively impact communities across the inner west. Independent research has shown that it will increase traffic congestion around St Peters and Green Square. It is not being planned with any consideration of other infrastructure projects in the area it the needs of local communities. It also is scheduled to destroy public parkland, which is a further affront.

This project is so ill thought out with no regard for how it will impact existing suburbs and the environment. A huge cost for no gain. How about looking instead at improving public transport?

I object to the WestConnex extension.
