Meeting to save Wiradjuri Park
By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AN open public meeting will be held tonight (Thursday, April 4) for community residents and stakeholders in favour of changing government policy on the proposed River Street Bridge. Thompson Street West Dubbo residents are opposed to the River Street Bridge which will impact their street directly and they’re opposed to the loss of Wiradjuri Park which offers a nearby recreational facility to residents. Meanwhile Roads & Maritime Services has so far declined a request from Dubbo Photo News to access the 900 submissions received during a public consultation on the project in 2016.
