STOP THE VALLEY BYPASS!
Come to the
Black Sunday Rally
Victoria Park opposite the RBH
Sunday 13th September 11am
The Inner Northern Coalition (representing residents groups in suburbs from Hamilton to Bardon) invite you to the Black Sunday Rally in Victoria Park to protest against the Lord Mayor's planned City Valley
Bypass.
If the Bypass goes ahead it will be Brisbane's biggest new motorway in decades. The preferred route runs from the Breakfast Creek Hotel, under the Showgrounds, past the RBH and right through Victoria Park, York's Hollow and several suburbs.
WHO WANTS MORE AIR POLLUTION?
Invited speakers include the Premier Peter Beattie, Transport Minister Steve Bredhauer, Councillors Soorley, Hinchcliffe and Hayes and Prof Ian Lowe.
We encourage you to wear black - arm bands,
t-shirts, gas masks, etc.

When Sunday 13th September 11am
YOUR SUBURB IS UNDER THREAT
Five reasons NOT to build this freeway
1) An extra 16 000 tonnes of deadly air pollution
each year. Particle pollution in front of the
RBH will breach national air quality standards
every day of the year.
2) Council's road building plans amount to $2.3 Billion
- an extraordinary price for us to pay for more
air pollution and more roads instead of better
public transport.
3) This road will funnel thousands more cars into YOUR
suburbs - Spring Hill, Paddington, Albion, Hamilton,
Toowong, Milton, Ashgrove, Bardon, Valley, Brisbane
City. An extra 100 thousand cars on the roads every day.
4) The new road will tear our communities apart - physically
AND economically.
5) The community is being held to ransom. Lord Mayor Soorley
has said: "You can't have light rail or bus lanes until
I build this road."
