Community involvement

Information centre

Information centre when first opened  

The RTA and Abigroup consider that positive community involvement benefits all parties through improved two-way communication, consultation and education.

For the construction phase of the project a central information centre was established on the Pacific Highway, opposite the Ferry Reserve Caravan Park at Brunswick Heads.

The information centre closed in July after the opening of the upgraded highway to traffic. Enquiries can still be made via this website or by calling 1800 071 144.

Advertisements

Advertisements were regularly listed in the local newspapers to explain the current status of the project and inform the public about traffic changes and other factors affecting the community.

These advertisements are downloadable from the Information documents section of this website.

Community newsletters

Newsletters on the project outlining the status, construction progress, upcoming construction stages, environmental management, community involvement achievements and information on project displays and locations were distributed in all areas of the local community affected by the works.

These newsletters are downloadable from the Information documents section of this website.

Other notices, leaflets and flyers

We used letterbox drop notices, leaflets and flyers to inform and advise local community members of any changes affecting individual properties, residents and businesses.

These items are downloadable from the Information documents section of this website.

Community liaison group

A community liaison group was established for the construction stage of the project works. Issues for discussion included such items as local vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist requirements, construction stage traffic diversions, noise control measures, air and water quality, landscaping requirements. The community liaison group was made up of representatives of local communities, a staff officer representing Byron Shire Council, the RTA and Abigroup representatives.

The group met monthly and meeting notes can be viewed in the Information documents section of this website.
