I am interested in what the genesis was for such a high-impact and arguably, completely over-engineered traffic solution.
What the solution is to the actual bottleneck, which is the Macquarie and Davey Streets and also the roundabout at the top of the Outlet.
The Government wants to build a fifth lane on the Southern Outlet having underinvested in sustainable transport solutions for eight years.

Minister Jaensch confirmed the Department of State Growth has blocked the hollows on six bluegums – important nesting habitat for the swift parrot.
Jefferys Track is an existing road that runs from Crabtree up across the Wellington Range and down into Lachlan in the Derwent Valley.
