Listen "Infrastructure projects around the Blue Mountains"

Episode Synopsis

Blue Mountains Councillor Kerry Brown and BMUC member Warren Ross unpack benefits and negative impacts of proposed and current infrastructure projects in and around the Blue Mountains.  Is Western Sydney Airport still viable?  How will increased population around the Western Sydney Airport be employed?  Why not invest in high speed rail infrastructure between capital cities?  Why is the proposed Great Western Highway duplication ignoring rail freight and the positive expansion of rail freight lines through greater Sydney and Western NSW.
