The  Hartley Highway Action Group committee  was originally appointed at a public meeting held in the Hartley School Hall on 11th May. Since that time the committee has met on ten occasions and held a further public meeting on 26th July to provide  initial feedback. It continues to meet regularly.

Since appointment delegations from the committee have met with Bob Debus MP the federal member for Macquarie and Gerrard Martin our local NSW State parliament member. Both of these gentlemen were supportive of our initial call  to the RTA for the study area being considered  to be expanded to review the possibility of a route across the Newnes plateau. A delegation has also met with Duncan Gay the Opposition Roads Spokesman in the New South Wales Parliament who took the time to actually visit the valley and meet a delegation of the committee on site afterwards expressing his support of the Newnes Plateau Proposal and a commitment to proceeding with the Bells Line of Road proposal if elected to govern. A number of other telephone and written contacts have been made with various politicians. (more…)
