    ECHUCA-MOAMA BRIDGE CROSSING (NEW SOUTH WALES) Submissions report April 2016 BLANK PAGE Roads and Maritime Services ECHUCA-MOAMA BRIDGE CROSSING (NEW SOUTH WALES) Submissions report April 2016 Prepared by GHD Pty Ltd RMS 16.239 ISBN: 978-1-925507-37-9 BLANK PAGE Executive summary Overview of Echuca-Moama bridge crossing Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and VicRoads propose to build a second Murray River bridge crossing between Moama in New South Wales (NSW) and Echuca in Victoria (referred to as the ‘Echuca-Moama bridge crossing’). Echuca and Moama function as a single community and are linked by the existing heritage-listed bridge across the Murray River, the only accessible river crossing in the area. The bridge does not meet current road design standards. Traffic congestion occurs on the bridge. The bridge has restrictions on the height, weight and width of vehicles that can use it. These constraints affect freight transport, local business and tourism, with associated impacts on the region’s productivity and economy. A second bridge crossing is required to provide an alternative route across the Murray River. The Echuca-Moama bridge crossing is required to alleviate congestion on the existing bridge, improve security of access for the local community and provide access across the Murray River for higher mass limit and oversized vehicles. It has been developed in consultation with the local community and stakeholders. NSW proposal Roads and Maritime proposes to build the NSW component of the Echuca-Moama bridge crossing (referred to in this submissions report as ‘the NSW proposal’). The NSW proposal extends north- east from of the high water mark on the Victorian bank of the Murray River to about 320 metres north of the Cobb Highway/Perricoota Road intersection in Moama.

    Gwdir Shire Tourism Plan 2006 - 2011 1

    GWDIR SHIRE TOURISM PLAN 2006 - 2011 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Gwydir Shire is located on the western slopes and plains in north-western NSW. The Shire covers an area of 9122 square kilometres and lies between the New England Tablelands in the east and Moree - Narrabri to the west, and extends from the Bruxner Highway close to the Queensland border south to the Nandewar Range. The Shire has a population of 5,790 people. Warialda (population 1,750) and Bingara (pop 1,390) are the main towns within the Shire. These towns are located approximately 40km apart, with Bingara servicing the southern areas of the Shire, and Warialda the northern areas. There are also six villages, Warialda Rail (pop 100), Crooble (pop 40), Gravesend (pop 205), Upper Horton (pop<150), Croppa Creek (pop 120), Coolatai (pop 130) and North Star (pop 200). With the exception of Warialda Rail, the villages are relatively remote from the two main towns. The Shire draws its name from the Gwydir River which drains most of the southern and central areas of the Shire, with Bingara located on the Gwydir River, and Warialda on Reedy Creek, one of the larger head-water tributaries of the Gwydir. Bingara is located on the Fossickers Way, a tourist route that extends from Nundle near Tamworth north to Warialda and then east along the Gwydir Highway to Glen Innes via Inverell. The Fossickers Way between Tamworth and Warialda is located approximately mid-way between two major interstate arterial routes, the New England Highway to the east and the Newell Highway to the west, with the Fossickers Way being a viable scenic alternative to these highways.
