North Sydney Council passed a motion that calls on the NSW State Government not to enter into any contracts for the Western Harbour Tunnel Stage 3 or the Northern Beaches Link projects prior to the March 2023 NSW State Government election.
The Council's action came as concerns spread about tree removal at Cammeray Park associated with the project to other locales on the Warringah Freeway which are set for works, including Alfred St North between Falcom St and High Street.
Residents there held a protest rally on 8 October attended by over 50 people. Rally organiser Kel Cowling told the North Sydney Sun that "local residents are furious about the impending loss of hundreds of mature trees, to make way for a freeway upgrade which no one wants."
The rally was addressed by federal North Sydney MP Kylea Tink who said: "What takes 3 hours to cut down took 30 years to grow. We must protect our green canopy."
