Release the East/West Link Economic Appraisal Now: Truck Yard in East West link’s path gets a 60 per cent rates cut

Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber said the Napthine government should release its economic appraisal of the impact of the 18-kilometre East West link, saying the toll road would “destroy” property values.

City of Melbourne finance and governance chairman Cr Stephen Mayne said the discount to the Toll site was a “surprisingly large adjustment”.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Transport Minister Terry Mulder both declined to comment.
