East West Link blog: Minister approves East West Link but final design unknown. 30 June 2014
The Minister for Planning, Matthew Guy, has approved the stage one of the East West Link but has ignored key recommendations from the planning panel to reduce impacts from the project.
Mr Guy announced on Monday that he has granted relevant approvals for the project on the condition that the Linking Melbourne Authority redesign parts of the western end of the project, and with the condition the Elliot Avenue interchange be scrapped.
