Project information
Overview
Transport conducted a review of environmental factors (REF) for the Garfield Road West proposal, seeking input from the community and stakeholders. The REF identified potential environmental impacts and strategies to manage them.
During the consultation, we received 32 submissions on the Garfield Road West proposal. We've considered all the feedback and are preparing a submissions report to address the issues raised.
