Vic Gov Media Release (23/9/09)

A Victorian Government Media Release (from the Minister for Roads and Ports) on 23 September 2009 announced: "Works to install noise barriers on the Princes Freeway in Beaconsfield and Berwick started today as part of a $12.3 million Brumby Labor Government project".

This is BNFNG's response to the announcement:

"Fantastic for Beaconsfield & Berwick residents.

. Premier Brumby, Balwyn North residents are not asking for anywhere close to $12.5m – under $1m (closer to half that) would finish the noise attenuation barriers that were originally promised to protect the families and people of Balwyn North.

. We estimate at least 1,000 people in Balwyn North are affected – that’s a meagre $500 per head."
