East West Link must proceed to drive jobs and our transport needs

 

VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone said VECCI has consistently supported East West Link as it will create jobs and be a vital part of Victoria's transport network.

"Business confidence takes a hit when decisions made by government do not come to fruition," Mr Stone said.

"I will request a meeting with the Opposition Leader to better understand why they have changed their longstanding position on this project.

"There is overwhelming support for this project among Victoria's major business and motoring groups, including the RACV, and it is also supported by a number of key union organisations.

"It will be of great detriment to our state if it is abandoned."
