BAG Highway update and information seminars

The BAG committee have been so busy that we haven't had as much time as we would like to keep you fully up to date with what's been going on.
We're really keen to set this straight, so have set aside some time to give all our members an opportunity to find out exactly where we're up to.
BAG is running two 'highway update and information seminars' for BAG members only.
These will be small and very informative 1 hour sessions designed to update BAG members on:

•    What the RTA is planning for the Mt Victoria to Lithgow upgrade,
•    What the Central West Transport Needs Study findings will mean for our
•    highway,
•    BAG's plan to get freight onto rail
•    What are the policies of the various political parties
•    What you can do to help the Campaign?

Remember, these sessions are for BAG members only – but it’s easy to join!
If you know someone who would like to attend as well, we would welcome their joining BAG and coming along!

To register for the sessions, please contact Richardson & Wrench Blackheath on 4787 8372 or email Adele Colman This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
to reserve your spot. Early registration is recommended as seats are limited.

See you there!

Times: Thursday, 20th August, 7-8pm AND Sunday, 23rd August, 3-4pm
