24.01.2022 #whywarri Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk MP promises to build an inland freight highway linking north Queensland to the NSW border if re-elected. "Activating an inland freight route will also reduce travel times, support jobs and increase economic activity"...... sound familiar.... We applaud the Premier for her forward thinking by increasing accessibility to rural and remote regions and we wait in anticipation for the Warri Gate Rd announcement one day. Completing the sealing of the Warri Gate Road will bring many benefits to the local community by improving accessibility throughout the year including; 1. Improved access, amenities and safety for all road users. 2. A reduction in road user costs including both outlay when purchasing vehicles and maintenance costs. 3. A reduction in agency costs relating to maintenance and rehabilitation items. 4. Improved environmental outcomes from dust reduction and preservation of scarce unbound granular pavement materials and water, resulting in better environmental outcomes (externalities). 5. Improved conditions for vehicles carrying livestock, with better outcomes for livestock (for example, reduced damage to livestock through bruising and/or suffocation from dust) resulting in far fewer stock losses and associated productivity losses. 6. Reduced delays during wet weather conditions. 7. Increased tourism uptake (particularly for tourists without four-wheel drive vehicles). 8. Enabling increased freight competition/efficiency resulting from reduced risk of damage and wear for freight, vehicles and trailers. 9. Improved social connectivity as road users are more willing to travel for social functions when the route is sealed. 10. Reduced risk of damage to general freight. 11. Reduced travel times. 12. Reduced freight costs. 13. Reduced driver fatigue. 14. Improved network flood resilience and associated reduced flood damage. #thatswhy #thinkofthewest #electionpromises Quilpie Shire Council Paroo Shire Council Murweh Shire Council My Maranoa Longreach Shire Council Diamantina Shire Council Barcoo Shire Council Central Highlands Regional Council Southern Downs Regional Council Toowoomba Region AgForce Queensland Santos: Proudly AustralianEromanga Natural History Museum Bulloo River Hotel Motel (The Home of Surly Shirley) Cameron Dick MP Mark Bailey MP - Labor for Miller Stirling Hinchliffe MP Deb Frecklington MP Steve Minnikin MP Michael McCormack MP Simon Birmingham Lachlan Millar MP Mark Coulton MP Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland) Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Andrew Constance MP Gladys Berejiklian ABC Western Queensland Jason Clare Mark Furner MP for Ferny Grove Robbie Katter MP Glenn Butcher - Member for Gladstone Regional Development Australia - Central and Western Queensland Outback Australia Tim Mander MP - State Member for Everton Tony Perrett Andrew Powell MP Ann Leahy Dr Anthony Lynham MP Scott Buchholz MP Broken Hill City Council Tibooburra Hotel

12.01.2022 #whywarri There were 2 options considered trying to solve the Warri Gate Road ongoing condition. Do-nothing or seal. When assessed the Do-Nothing case proved that it would not achieve Bulloo Shire Council’s goal of economic growth due to the unreliable condition of Warri Gate Road, it did not meet the project objectives.... The Do-Nothing scenario has a 35-year future spend of $44,752,000 to retain an as-is situation that is required to be funded from Council funds. This calculation includes the following assumptions: There is 149.52km of unsealed road. Routine maintenance costs $1,000 per annum per kilometre. A reseal is required every 10 years at $6.00 per square metre. Heavy patching averages about 2% of the pavement area every 10 years at $115 per square metre. So let's SEAL or we are in for a bumpy ride..... https://www.facebook.com/charmaine.dutoit.758/videos/1531515637001249/ #thatswhy Quilpie Shire Council Paroo Shire Council Murweh Shire Council My Maranoa Longreach Shire Council Diamantina Shire Council Barcoo Shire Council Central Highlands Regional Council Southern Downs Regional Council Toowoomba Region AgForce Queensland Santos: Proudly Australian Eromanga Natural History Museum Bulloo River Hotel Motel (The Home of Surly Shirley) Cameron Dick MP Mark Bailey MP - Labor for Miller Stirling Hinchliffe MP Deb Frecklington MP Steve Minnikin MP Michael McCormack MP Simon Birmingham Lachlan Millar MP Mark Coulton MP Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland) Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Andrew Constance MP Gladys Berejiklian ABC Western Queensland Jason Clare Mark Furner MP for Ferny Grove Robbie Katter MP Glenn Butcher - Member for Gladstone Regional Development Australia - Central and Western Queensland Tim Mander MP - State Member for Everton Tony Perrett Andrew Powell MP Ann Leahy Dr Anthony Lynham MP Scott Buchholz MP Broken Hill City Council Tibooburra Hotel Pastoralists' Association of West Darling

04.01.2022 #whywarri #nowthisisprogress the NSW Government has sealed right to our QLD border gate. The DTMR’s South West Regional Transport Plan identifies the Warri Gate Road cross-border connection as a medium to long term goal. This goal forms part of Priority 2 A transport system that enhances liveability through connected communities. Cross border connections enhance the liveability of regional communities by:... Providing transport options for users that fit the region’s context Connectivity communities across and outside the region Enhancing regional amenity through high quality desire and user experience The Warri Gate Road Cross Border Connection will also bring financial benefits to the region. Connecting the NSW Silver City Highway to the Queensland Road Network indicates that there will be significant cost and time saving for heavy vehicle transport operators when Warri Gate Road and the associated Silver City Highway are completely sealed. #thatswhy https://www.traveller.com.au/nsw-outback-roads-broken-hill- Visit Quilpie Shire - Your Outback Adventure Murweh Shire Council My Maranoa Longreach Regional Council Diamantina Shire Council Barcoo Shire Council Blackall -Tambo Visitor Information Central Highlands Regional Council Southern Downs Regional Council Banana Shire Council Toowoomba Region AgForce Queensland Santos: Proudly Australian Eromanga Natural History Museum Bulloo River Hotel Motel (The Home of Surly Shirley) Cameron Dick MP Mark Bailey MP - Labor for Miller Stirling Hinchliffe MP Deb Frecklington MP Steve Minnikin MP Michael McCormack MP Simon Birmingham Lachlan Millar MP Mark Coulton MP Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland) Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Andrew Constance MP Gladys Berejiklian ABC Western Queensland Jason Clare Mark Furner MP for Ferny Grove Robbie Katter MP Glenn Butcher - Member for Gladstone Regional Development Australia - Central and Western Queensland Experience Outback Queensland, Australia Tim Mander MP - State Member for Everton Tony Perrett Andrew Powell MP Ann Leahy Annastacia Palaszczuk MP Kate Jones Dr Anthony Lynham MP Broken Hill City Council Tibooburra Hotel Scott Buchholz MP Road Boss Rally GIVIT

03.01.2022 #whywarri The NSW Government is providing $195 million to seal and upgrade the remaining 209 kilometres of the Cobb and Silver City highways in far western NSW. Transport for NSW is delivering this program of work over the next five years and once complete, freight access, travel times and safety will be improved for all road users. CSIRO TraNSIT report from January 2020 estimated that there would be significant benefits occurring once Warri Gate Road in Queensland and Silver... City Highway in New South Wales were fully sealed. For Agricultural inputs this value is $886,391 per annum due to the increase in traffic volumes leading to time savings, reduction in maintenance costs and other operational costs. For private vehicles there are similar time and cost savings to the value of $490,816 per annum. #warrigatemissinglink #thatswhy #makessense #SealIt Visit Quilpie Shire - Your Outback Adventure Murweh Shire Council My Maranoa Longreach Regional Council Diamantina Shire Council Barcoo Shire Council Blackall-Tambo Regional Council Central Highlands Regional Council Southern Downs Regional Council Banana Shire Council Toowoomba Region AgForce Queensland Santos: Proudly Australian Eromanga Natural History Museum Bulloo River Hotel Motel (The Home of Surly Shirley) Cameron Dick MP Mark Bailey MP - Labor for Miller Stirling Hinchliffe MP Deb Frecklington MP Steve Minnikin MP Michael McCormack MP Simon Birmingham Lachlan Millar MP Mark Coulton MP Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland) Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Andrew Constance MP Gladys Berejiklian ABC Western Queensland Jason Clare Mark Furner MP for Ferny Grove Robbie Katter MP Glenn Butcher - Member for Gladstone Regional Development Australia - Central and Western Queensland Experience Outback Queensland, Australia Tim Mander MP - State Member for Everton Tony Perrett Andrew Powell MP Ann Leahy Annastacia Palaszczuk MP Kate Jones Dr Anthony Lynham MP Broken Hill City Council Tibooburra Hotel Scott Buchholz MP
