News from the East West Link Battle Front - Pickets of Drill Sites in Collingwood Clifton Hill and Fitzroy

Dear Protectors of Public Lands Victoria Inc members and friends

I MEDIA

See accounts of picket action. The geological drilling is at the behest of the companies intending to tender - do you mind! They are turning inner suburb streets both business and residential areas into industrial sites with no notice given. See previous email with list of drill sites proposed for Fitzroy, Collingwood and Clifton Hill but no dates or times.
