  • M1 Pacific Motorway Extension to Raymond Terrace
    M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace Project update – Environmental Impact Statement July 2021 You are invited to make a submission on the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Australian and NSW governments have committed $2 billion to deliver the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace and Hexham Straight projects. The extension would boost the regional economy and improve connectivity, road transport eciency and safety for local and interstate motorists. The project addresses a key national motorway ‘missing link’ between Sydney and Brisbane as the existing M1 Pacific Motorway, New England Highway and Pacific Highway carry some of the highest trac volumes across the Hunter. Better movement of Once complete, the extension would remove up to 25,000 vehicles a day from key congestion and freight merge points along this corridor and would help keep freight, commuters and tourists moving. The project includes 15 kilometres of dual carriageway and provides motorway access from the existing road network from four new Saving motorists interchanges at Black Hill, Tarro, Tomago and up to Raymond Terrace. 9 minutes during peak time The project also includes a 2.6 kilometre viaduct over the Hunter River and floodplain, the Main North Rail Line, and the New England Highway. It would also provide new bridge crossings over Bypass up to local waterways at Tarro and Raymond Terrace, and an overpass for Masonite Road at Heatherbrae. 5 trac lights Key benefits On opening, the M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace would save motorists between seven and nine minutes of travel time during peak periods, bypass up to five sets of trac lights and reduce trac demand on existing key routes across the road The key benefits of the proposed extension network.

All roads may lead to Rome, but please do not forget that on Saturday, October 17, when the good people of Bulga invite you to visit their own part of our national thor- oughfare system (Inlet Road, to be exact) for not one, but two momentous walks down memory lane. To begin with, it’s about 200 years since that remarkable figure of colonial exploration, John Howe, capped his opening of the Patrick Plains with the first (white) sighting of the idyllic paradise our First Peoples knew as Bulga. And never let us forget that, without the unique bushcraft and calm perseverance of the native Australians John Howe recruited for his squad, our beautiful patch may have waited much longer to become recognised on the map of pre-Federation New South Wales. The second stanza on the playlist for October is meant to be an equally whole- hearted tribute to our forebears—but perhaps a little more restrained and intro- spective than our Bulga commemoration: we’re remembering the dedication of that consecrated gateway to the fallen, the War Memorial Gates at the Recreation Ground.
