The State Government has release reports proposing new routes for a freeway down the Merri Creek corridor between the Hume Highway at Craigieburn and the Ring Road. Friends of Merri Creek are deeply disappointed that the Government has not considered the option of modestly upgrading the Hume Highway as an alternative to building a freeway. Friends of Merri Creek and other community groups will be running a strong campaign to stop the freeway and they need help urgently. A special briefing and action meeting will be held on Wednesday 9 August at 8.00pm at Brunswick Town Hall Sydney Rd Brunswick. Everyone is invited to come to this meeting to find out more about the freeway proposals and to join the campaign. The Freeway Campaign Office is also located at Brunswick Town Hall Phone (03) 9240 2394 Fax (03) 9240 2202 PO Box 93 Moreland Vic 3058 The Merri Creek runs from the north of Melbourne to join the Yarra River at Collingwood. Friends of Merri Creek is a community group which works to preserve and restore the natural beauty of this waterway.
