WESTCONNEX Action Group (WAG) has called for a full inquiry into WestCONnex’s forced acquisitions following revelations that the Baird government has deliberately hidden a damning report into the process.

HUNDREDS of residents across the WestCONnex route came to WestCONnex Action Group (WAG)’s UPROOTED family picnic and tree-wrapping events on Sunday to protest the destruction that will be caused if the $16.8 billion toll road goes ahead.

ST PETERS families whose houses are being forcibly acquired for the WestCONnex toll road were devastated to learn they could lose their homes as early as next March after they received Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) letters confirming they have as little as 21 days to agree a sale price before the compulsory acquisition process starts.

RESIDENTS from across the WestCONnex route will come together on Sunday 6 December for UPROOTED, a family picnic and tree-wrapping event to highlight the community destruction the $16.8 billion toll road would cause.

Last month we wrote to our supporters asking them to call NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes to ask him give communities more time to respond to the massive WestCONnex M4 East environmental impact statement (EIS), which is over 4,800 pages long.

RESIDENTS of an apartment complex in Knocklayde St Ashfield forced WestCONnex to abandon drilling on their property yesterday after it failed to prove it had the legal right to carry out the work.

WESTCONNEX contractors carrying out geotechnical drilling in Haberfield called police this morning after residents entered the site to ask why work on the M4 East is commencing before any planning approval is granted.

RESIDENTS facing the destruction of their homes and communities for the M4 East stage of WestCONnex have blasted the ‘community information sessions’ to be held by the WestCONnex Delivery Authority (WDA) in Ashfield and Concord this week as a “sham”.

HUNDREDS of residents attended the WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) ‘WestCONnex Independence Day’ rally at Goddard Park in Concord on Saturday to oppose the $15.4 billion toll road, which experts say will only worsen Sydney’s traffic pollution and congestion.

Residents opposed to the destructive #WestCONnex project will unite in Concord tomorrow when WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) hosts the ‘WestCONnex Independence Day’ rally.
