	EastLink, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since its inception it was proposed as a Freeway not to require tolls to fund its construction, however, due to political activities from Labor and Liberal parties since 1999, the project has been surrounded in controversy and has seen many delays during the proposal stages.
		Scoresby Bypass was then coined by the media, although it was incorrect as the freeway actually runs straight through the suburb of Scoresby let alone bypasses it.
		Signs were erected at some points along the route, declaring it as the proposed "Eastern Ring Road - Scoresby Section", and for a period of time during the 1980's the Melway street directories reflected this (later it was changed to "Scoresby Freeway").

	Freeways in Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the resulting Eastern Freeway was finally built, many road projects were shelved and freeway building largely went quiet until the mid 1990s.
		Freeway construction was resumed in the 1990s; for example the Western Ring Road, CityLink and others.
		Melburnians in general are divided over the freeways; supporters crying "progress and growth" and detractors lamenting for example, the destruction of habitats and the loss of peace and tranquility along the freeway path and at the ends where the freeway traffic is spilled onto local roads.

	HEADLINES.com.au : Local News : Federal Funding Gives Scoresby Freeway the Go Ahead
		Construction of the 34 km Scoresby Freeway from Ringwood to Frankston will deliver significant economic benefits to Melbourne and to the nation by removing severe traffic congestion and reducing travel times for as many as 100,000 vehicles per day.
		The designation of the Scoresby Freeway a Road of National Importance is a reflection of the priority the government is placing on this project.
		When completed, the Scoresby Freeway will mean a 20 minute saving for motorists travelling between Ringwood and Frankston, and a 15 minute saving between Frankston and Melbourne Airport, along with considerable improvements in road safety and reduced accidents.

	The Liberal Party of Australia
		The Bracks Labor Government's 'Scoresby Freeway' advertisement released in the last few days onto commercial television is misleading and clearly designed to deceive Victorians in the run-up to the State Election.
		The commercial which pictures freeway construction is clearly designed to mislead Victorians into believing that construction on the Scoresby Freeway has commenced.
		The pictures may be of another freeway whether nearby or not, but could not be of the Scoresby Freeway.

		Mark Latham can't appear in any electorate where the Scoresby Freeway is to be constructed, or which will be relieving pressure on local roads, because a vote for Latham is a vote for tolls on the Scoresby Freeway.
		If there is anybody who has any doubt on Saturday which Government will be building a freeway and which Government proposes to toll them for the rest of their lives, it is the Latham Labor Government that wants to toll them, it is the Howard Coalition Government that wants a freeway.

		The manner of financing the Freeway, including the extent of private sector involvement, will be the subject of further consultation between the Commonwealth and Victoria.
		The Commonwealths offer for funding of the Freeway is conditional on Victoria agreeing to complete the construction of the Freeway between Ringwood and Frankston by 30 June 2008.
		Victoria agrees that all public transport improvements associated with the Scoresby Transport corridor, and costs of land already acquired, are solely a Victorian funding responsibility.

	www.robertclark.net - Yes, we can make the Scoresby toll free
		The Scoresby Freeway can be built without tolls and that is exactly what a Liberal Government will do.
		In fact, the true cost to Victoria of making the Scoresby toll free, will be, in lump sum terms, approximately the $2.5 billion cost of building the project, together with an amount representing other costs and foregone opportunities of the consortium, less the Commonwealth's half share of the original Scoresby section of the freeway.
		It's only Steve Bracks' pigheaded refusal to admit he was wrong and the enormous loss of face John Brumby would suffer that is leading the Government to stick to the decision to break their solemn promise.

		The proposed Eastern Ring Road (of which the Scoresby Freeway is the first stage) affects all three.
		Mees said that, although the Scoresby Freeway had undergone environmental assessment under the Kennett government, this assessment was fatally flawed.
		Secondly, the process was dishonest because, once it became apparent that improving public transport would produce greater reductions in traffic congestion than building the Freeway, the public transport option was dropped from the study to prevent it winning.

		The Bracks administration took 11 seats in the Scoresby corridor on the strength of that declaration.
		To, reiterate, by the time they left office, 1999, the fund was already at $200m and thus, it is simple to reckon,if they were still in office, the full amount would of the state government’s part of the purchase price of the highway would have been met.

		KES’s view is that the Scoresby Freeway is unnecessary; it will be environmentally destructive in the short term through habitat destruction and waterway degradation, and in the long term through the increase of greenhouse emissions by 20 %.

		Secondly, he alleged that the construction of the Scoresby Freeway would create inevitable demand for the completion of the last link in the Metropolitan Ring Road.
		This inevitability so closely connected the northern section of the Scoresby Freeway with the risk to the environment that it should have been mentioned in the referral document, to give the Environment Minister all the information he needed to determine whether the northern section of the Scoresby Freeway was a controlled action.
		In Justice Gray's view, to provide the complete picture, the referral had to say that the construction of the northern section of the Scoresby Freeway would itself bring about a strong chance that a freeway link would be constructed in the future.
