Last month, the makers of the Tunnel Vision documentary about the successful campaign to stop Melbourne's East-West Link came to Sydney for their film's premiere. They met with members of WestCONnex Action Group to talk about the battle to save Sydney from the similarly disastrous WestCONnex tollway. Take a look.

On Friday 7 October, police forcibly dragged residents away from the WestCONnex construction compound on Euston Rd, Sydney Park, so that contractors for the Sydney Motorway Corporation could start destroying trees at the park.

POLICE forcibly removed up to 50 residents from WestCONnex’s Sydney Park construction compound after the locals peacefully attempted to stop the destruction of trees in the park.

MEMBERS of the WestCONnex Action Group (WAG) have invited the head of the Greater Sydney Commission, Lucy Turnbull, to join them on a personal tour of the destruction of Haberfield heritage homes for the WestCONnex tollway after she revealed she was “not aware” of it.

If it wasn't for the wonderful Chris Lego hooking us up with the equally wonderful Reclaim the Streets, many of our biggest rallies and direct actions wouldn't have happened. Chris recently wrote this piece about what inspired him to help stop WestCONnex. Enjoy.

Kingsgrove Beverly Hills

The impacts on Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills are of grave concern to WAG. Attacks by the government on the WAG group are designed to hide from the residents of South West Sydney the impacts on their communities. We are concerned, for example, about the residents of Stoney Creek Road who have never been properly consulted or informed about the increase traffic and pollution, they will face as a result of the New M5. Details of information about increased traffic should have been explicitly communicated to them in a range of appropriate community languages. 

From everyone here at WestCONnex Action Group, we just want to say THANK YOU for your support during the New M5 environmental impact statement (EIS) submissions period.

MORE than 9,000 submissions objecting to the WestCONnex New M5 environmental impact statement (EIS) were sent in to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment by last night’s midnight deadline.
