CARTS

 The decision by the State government in 2002 to abandon their plans to build a freeway through the Sutherland Shire was the result of a PEOPLE'S campaign, a campaign run by the residents action group CARTS (Citizens Advocating Responsible Transport for the Shire) which was initiated and supported by the Sutherland Shire Environment Centre. CARTS had hundreds of members all along the F6 corridor who vehemently opposed the construction of the F6. Its strongest membership was in the section of the corridor that was eventually regazetted.

Now, in July 2004, the Liberal dominated Council is attempting to overturn the will of the people and to have this destructive plan resuscitated.
