Member for Coffs Harbour Andrew Fraser said the drop-in sessions give the community an opportunity to have their say on the preliminary concept design for the much anticipated project.
“The preliminary concept design incorporates refinements made to the previous design, and identifies the location of possible tunnels and access points to and around the new highway,” Mr Fraser said.
Drop-in sessions will be held at Cavanbah Centre, 191 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour on Wednesday 31 August from 5pm to 8pm and Saturday 3 September from 9am to 12pm.
“The project team will be available at both drop-in sessions to discuss the project and answer questions about the progress of the project,” Mr Fraser said.
“There will be no formal presentations so community members can attend at any time.”
Federal Member for Cowper Luke Hartsuyker said the Coffs Harbour bypass would improve road safety, cutting down travel time, improved accessibility to the city’s Central Business District and create jobs in the region.
“The bypass is a critical infrastructure project for both the state and our region and we invite community feedback on the preliminary concept design,” Mr Hartsuyker said.
Comments are invited until September 19 and Roads and Maritime Services will consider all comments as part of the development of the environmental impact statement.
