The second meeting of the Inner West Council WestCONnex Community Forum was held last Thursday, but the council has not acted on key issues requested at the previous meeting.

On 28 July 2016, we joined volunteers from other WestCONnex community action groups to meet with Inner West Council (IWC) Administrator Richard Pearson. It became clear that, despite its stated promise to “oppose WestCONnex in the strongest terms”, IWC is focusing on damage control and is not proactively opposing WestCONnex.
