DURING a recent radio interview discussing the infrastructure shortfall in the lower Hunter, it was mentioned that after the planned container terminal is completed on the old BHP steelworks site, up to 1 million extra truck movements a year will need to access the site from the Industrial Highway.
If this is anywhere near the truth, some major off-site planning needs to be done, along with any terminal construction.
I welcome the container terminal to Newcastle - but let's plan it correctly from the beginning.
