Community Feedback In August 2018, Roads and Maritime Services engaged with the community, businesses and key stakeholders about introducing new weekend and extended weekday clearways along this corridor. We asked the community for feedback in a number of ways including the distribution of letters to residents and local businesses and key stakeholders. We also doorknocked local businesses and contacted key stakeholders and held an Information Kiosk at Neeta City Shopping Centre, Fairfield. Additionally, we posted on Facebook to inform motorists and the broader community. During the engagement period, we received four enquiries and we responded to each member of the community directly. 1 What happens next? What is a clearway?
