Active - advocating every day to get trucks off Portrush Road.
Why are you campaigning?
Over 1,000 trucks come down Portrush Road every day. Our local roads are simply not appropriate freight routes. They are lined with schools, shops, nursing homes and pedestrians - not things that should be mixing with B Doubles. There have been 5 major crashes at the bottom of the Freeway since 2010 - including sadly a number of fatalities.
What do you propose as an alternative?
The Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass is an alternative route that would see trucks coming down the South Eastern Freeway diverted at Murray Bridge up to Sturt Highway. This would divert many trucks from Portrush and Glen Osmond Road - and
be a big win for our local community.
What should I do to help?

What am I doing?
I will continue to fiercely advocate for a Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass to get trucks off our local roads like Portrush and Glen Osmond Road. I do so every day in our community, Parliament, directly with Government Ministers and Departments, Councils, media and other stakeholder groups.
Please see below a timeline showing just some of my advocacy work on this issue. Get in touch with me if you have any ideas for this campaign.
