If you ask them? Fixing labors mess.
In reality? jack shit.
I'm thinking they are going to take a final plan to the next state election, and will say that it took ages due to Labor Mess.
I guess there are a number of stages. Design and geology work for the recently-completed Toowoomba Bypass went as far as digging a 2-meter-wide tunnel through the mountain (that was expected to become part of the westbound much bigger tunnel) before the eventual contractor won on the basis of a cutting rather than a tunnel.
A short tunnel under Henley Beach Road (and Sir Donald Bradman Drive) is still the best option.SBD wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 7:46 pmI guess there are a number of stages.

There was someone on the radio this week talking about moving heritage buildings. He said his company could move the Thebarton Theatre out of the way, and larger similar buildings have been moved in the USA. He was originally talking about the Urrbrae Gatehouse which might be moved for an intersection upgrade.
I'm curious why you're so committed to pushing this narrative? A couple things: First, as Vasco said, this is an old article (from September last year, I believe) so Koutsantonis isn't 'still' doing anything, let alone what you've singularly imagined. The opprobrium around the Thebby was caused by the Libs simply refusing to state the obvious: it won't be demo'd. Second, the legislation re: property rights and tunnels has already passed. So we're back to the current question of why the Libs are only now appointing geotechnical experts to study an option they were supposed to have announced by the end of last year, and which has putatively been favoured since Labor was in office.claybro wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:20 pmGood to see Tom Koutsantonis is still muddying the waters with the old "destruction of heritage properties" thing. Labor already had a concept for this route at the last election. It didn't involve miles of expensive tunnels, or destruction of actual heritage listed properties. If the Libs go with the tunnel option, it will be years in the legislation (under tunnelling of existing property rights), years in planning, and Labor will be back in anyway so the whole thing will be scrapped for Labors original proposal. Tom will then have to convince people the Thebby Theatre is not going to be demolished, after raking up the hysteria in the first place.
The storm in a teacup over Thebby Theatre was created by a local petition, gained traction on social media, and was supported by the local members. Yes Labor were right in it at the time, and continue to be. The Libs have not helped their cause by continually pfaffing around with their various unnessesary tunnel options which will only delay any further progress.SRW wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 8:09 pmI'm curious why you're so committed to pushing this narrative?
