00:00And how do you get traffic lights through that section?
00:03Oh gosh, ok, so this will make a huge difference.
00:05We have a set of 8km long, so that takes us basically around the city.
00:10Bought on place or pre-carved?
00:12Pre-carved.
00:13And where is that being done?
00:14So we've got a facility up in the farm.
00:16So at the moment, people are coming down.
00:25This way, right through the heart of town, and I assume there's a big bottle neck there.
00:29So this road here is one of the busiest roads in New South Wales until about 6 o'clock.
00:34Right.
00:35Losing trade, like you look at Brangston, the Hunter Expressway came through there,
00:39and that's actually better for business now than it ever has been because it's much better for locals.
00:44Yeah, it gives you main street back, is what my experience has been.
00:47And people do want to, instead of, you know.
00:50And the red stuff is actually really important too.
00:55Yeah we did.
00:56Good timing.
00:57Very good timing.
00:58Yeah, very good timing.
01:012023.
01:02Yeah, 2023.
01:03And, you know, you have to have contact with the other people.
01:07Yeah, great.
01:08So then it's sort of, yeah.
01:09But it's at the point, you know.
01:11She secured the funding.
01:12Yeah.
01:13And it took a long time to get it.
01:15Oh yeah, it's incredible.
01:17It's huge, yeah.
01:19Who's got that project?
01:21Is it a few?
01:22It's a joint venture, so there's...
01:25Oh, well I haven't met him.
01:28That's good.
01:29And who's the one up there?
01:32Hofstra's come along really well too, hasn't it?
01:33Yeah, yeah.
01:34It's great.
01:35Yeah, yeah.
01:36Yeah.
01:39Sorry.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
02:27Yeah, that's a pretty bad outlook.
