Please Urgent Letter Writing to The Age and The Herald Sun along these lines: There is only one word for the amount of dredging that would be needed to build a port in Westernport: Massive, Victoria University estimates between 20million and 50million cubic metres, and this looks conservative. The famous Channel Deepening dredging amounted to 23 million cubic metres and was Victoria’s biggest infrastructure project. Westernport will not handle this level of disturbance. Digging up mud flats would stir up mud and result in possible algae blooms, dead zones, seagrass deaths and with our strong tides would cause further erosion. What is this government’s estimate of the dredging needed for port expansion in Hastings? Why is this not released? Would it disturb the spin campaign to admit that Westernport is narrow, shallow, and fragile?
