Compere: Wilbur Wilde

Wilde says he is interested in the prospect of a tunnel from the Eastern Freeway to Ballarat Road. Wilde explains one submission submitted to the Rod Eddington commission on the East West Link will be assessed by Dr Peter Nagel, Director, Vic University Institute for Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Nagel explains what the proposal actually entails, noting connections to CityLink and elsewhere. Nagel says there is a huge reliance on the West Gate Bridge and there should be an alternative. Nagel says a tunnel just connecting the Eastern Freeway with CityLink is only a partial solution. Nagel says it will help with travel time and provide economic development. Wilde says he speaks to John So [Mayor, City of Melbourne] about this at their regular meetings. wilde wishes him luck with his proposal.
