Monument Hill, Kilmore
BEAM is actively following the progress of the planned Wallan – Kilmore bypass, as one of the proposed routes will directly impact on Monument Hill. The Friends of Monument Hill (FOMH) group joined with BEAM in 2006 and we maintain a FOMH representative on the BEAM committee – currently David Atkinson. Vicroads recently provided further information on the three routes that will still be considered for this bypass.
Although some information about the environmental impacts (eg numbers of established trees to be removed) of each route was released, the full Environmental Impact reports are not yet available to the public. BEAM has contacted Vicroads asking, once again, for copies of these reports. When they’re available we will make further submissions to Vicroads.
UPDATE 25th July 2013: There was a notice in last Friday’s Free Press regarding the environment effects statement for the 3 proposed routes for the bypass. Dept of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure is currently setting the scoping requirements. Submissions can be made by 5pm, August 12. Details are available here
