I want to be incredibly clear with our community about the facts vs fiction around this vital project.
MYTH 1: The Cairns Western Arterial Road is no longer happening.
TRUTH: This vital project is not being shelved; in fact, it is being fast-tracked.
The only party to ever shelf this road was the former Labor state government, who were sent back to the drawing board by their own federal colleagues due to project mismanagement
MYTH 2: This Project is not part of any Plan.
We are doing the necessary planning to ensure that after years of delays, this infrastructure is finally delivered for the people of Barron River
MYTH 3: This project is with the State Government.
TRUTH: While it is part of the Crisafulli Government’s Delivery 2032 Plan, this is also managed with the Labor Federal Government and we are working closely with the Federal Government to ensure this road is prioritised.
MYTH 4: You don’t care about this project
TRUTH: I know how important this road is to your daily lives and our safety
This is our main arterial road connecting the northern beaches to the city, making it absolutely vital during times of disaster. This is a road I drive daily, along with the 40,000 other residents in this area. My commitment has and always will be with bettering Barron River and this includes ensuring an improved CWAR is delivered to our region.
