More bypass ideas - will any get up ?

The last round of Shire investigations was a fizer ? Will the latest be just the same?

Evidnce for hard edge planning is hard to come by . They put on more and more staff and make less and less significant decisions. Our CEO is happy to be seen to plant non native  fruit trees in the suburbs, but neither of them have got a word out of Mr Mulders government on how to make better use of the huge potential for  timber regeneration resource to our south.
So easy to pass the difficult stuff off to consultants . If I was still able to do my job,  I would be more open about why some options are not on the table and have already asked Mr Mulder ( Roads minister )  why Vic roads don't give us some ideas on general feasibility instead of us paying for a selection so big you could drive a truck through any one of them in a loud nimby moment - seems to be the order of the day to just hope real challenges don't get discussed  . Too hard for the current Council to even talk to us on this?
How do we take the big initiatives of Mr Delahunty and Mr Meade more seriously than Council are.

Some of the bypass discussion is happening here http://lakecolac.blogspot.com
