BRISBANE URBAN CORRIDOR PLANNING Saturday  15 June 2002

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.

My name is Heather Barns and I am from the Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordination Committee Inc and my assistant Barry Wilson from The Rivermouth Action Group Inc.

[OHP 0000] (list of groups)

We are representing the concerns of many diverse environment groups with this presentation as a result of the ENVIRONMENT Group’s meeting held on 20 April 2002

[OHP 000] (web site address)   www.rag.org.au/buc/

We will not have the time to read out each of the OHP as most of them are in your folders.  The Rivermouth Action Group Inc web site will contains this and other information about our presentation and more will be put on the site as and when it continues to come to hand. 

[OHP 00] “Beneficial Asset” definition from EPA Act

Before we continue we hope that the members of this meeting are aware that under Queensland State Legislation the Brisbane Urban Corridor (BUC) is a State Controlled Road and as such is a “Beneficial Asset” and the Queensland Government is under no obligation to reduce the noise impact to any noise level limit.

We acknowledge that four of our OHP pages came from Orana Development Employment Council and  Australian Inland Rail Express Conference, held in  Dubbo 5 April 2001
