Transport:
Race course expansion to add to traffic chaos
Ben Spies-Butcher, Greens candidate for Heffron, today expressed his concerns about proposed road changes around the AJC Race Course.

"The Race Course plans may significantly add to traffic in the area, particularly around Kensington Public School. This is of concern to parents and teachers trying to access the school, and of course increased traffic increases the risk to children crossing the road" Mr Spies-Butcher said.

"But this is only part of a massive increase in traffic proposed for the area. The Gardeners Road motor ramps, the proposed F6 and the proposed Marrickville Truck Tunnel will each individually feed a significant increase in traffic through Roseberry, Mascot, Eastlakes, Daceyville and Kensington. Together they will create traffic chaos.

"The AJC Race Course expansion proposal itself stems from a Labor Government decision to sell off adjoining land once used for public transport.

"The Greens are offering a clear alternative to this traffic chaos by redirecting funding into improved public transport infrastructure and opposing the massive expansion of road traffic that will result from the RTA road proposals" Mr Spies-Butcher said.

The NSW Department of Housing is planning to build a facility to provide permanent accommodation to around 50 homeless people on Pyrmont Bridge Rd in Camperdown (site pictured on the left).  Based on the successful Common Ground model from New York, formerly homeless people will be housed alongside low income key workers in a building [...]

In recent months there has been media attention, and many letters from concerned residents, about the plan by the City of Sydney to build a skate park on a site under the Western Distributor at Millers Point (pictured right).  This is a proposal that I wholeheartedly support, and I want to take this opportunity to [...]

Recently, many of my Greens colleagues and myself have received an email that appears to be circulating widely which makes a number of arguments disputing the science of climate change.  The arguments are the same ones that climate change deniers have been using for many years and though they can be easily countered with basic [...]

The Greens have the real the prospect of being in the balance of power at the federal level and in the NSW state parliament following elections in the next two years. How will the Greens approach this responsibility and great opportunity and will its approach to economic management be different in the state and federal spheres? Here [...]

The removal of eight healthy mature city street trees by Energy Australia is the latest environmental disaster perpetrated under the Department of Planning’s Part 3A madness. It is also at odds with Energy Australia’s policy statement that it is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its operations. The Minister for Planning, Kristina Keneally, gave approval [...]
