Rail protest heats up in Sunshine

By ALESHA CAPONE

AROUND 50 people attended a community rally in Sunshine to express anger about the noise, visual amenity, access, pollution and a lack of consultation on the Regional Rail Link project.
Residents and members of the Fix the Links Action Group carried placards which read, ’Consult not railroad’ and ’Don’t drive us up the wall, cut the rail in’.
“It’s been absolutely disgusting about the way we’ve been consulted about things which affect us,” resident Alisa Page said.
Another resident, Maurice Sibelle, addressed the crowd and expressed concerns about a noise wall the RRL have proposed, building along the Brimbank section of the rail corridor.
