    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 402 Request to be heard?: No, but please email me th Full Name: Phil Turner Organisation: Maroondah City Council Affected property: Attachment 1: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 2: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 3: Comments: To the North East Link Inquiry & Advisory Committee (IAC) Maroondah Council provides the following submission to the IAC, in relation to the EES for the North East Link project. While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.

    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 130 Request to be heard?: yes Full Name: Stephen Bruce Haddy Organisation: Affected property: Attachment 1: Submission_to_Re Attachment 2: Attachment 3: Comments: The submission is attached (Submission to Review Committee for consideration for NEL - Stephen Haddy.docx). It argues that the EES is based on a flawed premise and solution design and presents a modified plan which provides a much closer fit to the 8 elements of the published Project Objectives and Governing Principles of the Project. Submission to Planning Panels Victoria (PPV) Regarding the North East Link Project: Stephen Haddy 8 Jamieson Court, YALLAMBIE 3085 Alternate proposal affecting Watsonia Alternate Design and Community Impact. I was told at the Watsonia Alternate Design Information Session that a submission such as this, when presented, would have audience with the NELA via the PPV. So here it is. NOTE: This document relates directly to the “North East Link Project EES, Planning Scheme Amendment or Works Approval Application” as required for such a submission. The document is in two parts, a critical review of the EES and related documents and processes and an Alternate Design Suggestion Overview. HOWEVER, a point of concern is, that any such study as the EES and the associated Planning Scheme Amendment(s) and Works Approval must be based on a proposed solution. That requirement is obvious, but if the proposed solution is not optimal, or in and of itself creates more complications and disruptions, which the solution seeks to have approved, then the whole review process is skewed. The argument in this submission is that, whilst the need for the North East Link is (and has been for many years) vital to Melbourne’s road network, the prioritisation of the various elements of the solution and the understanding of the “major factor” driving the decision to do it NOW should be paramount in the design.
