    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.

DELEGATIONS / PRESENTATIONS & REGIONAL SIGNPOSTING ISSUES N / A 2. NEW TOURIST SIGNPOSTING APPLICATIONS 2.1 Paroo Darling National Park, near Wilcannia An application has been lodged to review the eligibility of Paroo Darling National Park for tourist signposting (TASAC found the park to be eligible for signposting in 2008) and allow some of the park’s signage to be updated and also to secure signposting for a new precinct known as Peery Lake Picnic Area within the Paroo Darling Overflow Section of the park. The park is in the north west corner of the State, north east of the Cobb Highway and north of the Barrier Highway. The nearest towns are Wilcannia and White Cliffs, both to the west of the park. The park conserves extensive semi-permanent freshwater wetlands associated with both the Paroo and Darling Rivers. The area is internationally significant for bird migration and recognised under the Ramsar Treaty for conserving wetlands of international importance. Additionally, Peery Lake is the only lake bed in the Southern Hemisphere where mound springs (natural outlets for artesian water) are located. Various Aboriginal artefacts and sites exist in the area and the lake has been recorded as a tourist attraction since the 1910s.
