This is an URGENT CALL OUT to come to the wetlands tomorrow (Tuesday AUG 4 and Wednesday AUG 5) to witness surveying work which would inform future construction of Roe 8.
We ask that people do not engage with the contractors at all and remain present as witnesses only to observe and record work and ensure that no clearing is done. Our presence may remind all tenderers and potential contractors that there are many stakeholders who do not support this project.
This work is being done in one of the most sacred areas of the wetlands and we also ask that people respect the paths and the animals. Most importantly we ask that everyone pay their respects to elders past and present before entering the wetlands and that we take utmost care. The work is between Hope Rd and Bibra Dve in Bibra Lake. We suggest people park with a view to safety on Bibra Dve or Hope Rd. Please come and support your community and bring wellies!
PLEASE SHARE THIS EVENT
from Main Roads:
Ground survey Bibra Drive to Hope Road
A ground topographical survey will be conducted between Bibra Drive and Hope Road, Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th August 2015
The work is being undertaken by the BGC/ Laing O'Rourke/Arup/ Jacobs contractor consortium, which is developing a tender proposal for the Roe 8 project. The work has been approved by Main Roads WA and local government has been notified.
Consultant surveyors using hand-held equipment will be accessing the area on foot, during normal business hours. No vegetation or ground will be disturbed.
Impacts on local traffic should be minimal. Motorists are still advised to exercise caution when driving through the area.
Activity of this type is commonplace on major construction projects to provide additional knowledge of local conditions to help develop proposed construction planning and costings.
