Outcomes of previous consultation activities:

Pedestrian Bridge Consultation:  (Completed Aug 2007) A pedestrian and cyclist bridge is now being built over the Centenary Highway near Woodcrest College, Springfield Lakes.  The Minister for Transport John Mickel announced on 7 November 2007 that the bridge will be coloured aquamarine and rusty red, and named Springfield Link, in line with suggestions from the local community. For further information, refer to the information sheet below.

Richlands Station Consultation:  Consultation on the site of the proposed Richlands Station closed on 4 May 2007.  The Minister for Transport and Main Roads Paul Lucas announced on 4 July 2007 that the government decided the preferred site is the Northern option.
