Yarra Campaign

Yarra Campaign for Action on Transport (YCAT), previously known as Yarra Campaign Against the Tunnel is a community coalition of individuals & local groups who network & share information about the East West Link impacts in Abbotsford, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Carlton, Carlton North and Clifton Hill. Please note: we are not Yarra Council.

YCAT started in 2008 as a community reaction to the East-West Road tunnel proposed in the Eddington Report.

In 2012 the Liberal government put the East West Link back on the agenda. Yes, the government does not have the money for it now, however, that does not stop the decision making process and infrastructure planning. With Private Public Partnerships (PPT) the money will be there in two, five or ten years time. The time to stop the East West Link is now at the planning stage and remember if planning for this toll road goes ahead there will be no Doncaster Rail, Metro Rail or long term improvements to Victorias public transport.

YCAT is a supporting group of Yarra Council's Trains Not Tolls Campaign and is represented by several members on Yarra’s Public Transport Advocacy Campaign Committee.
