i dont agree that all options have been considered for the protection of the world heritage site. the tunnel is not long enough and thus the deep cuttings at the openings at either end of the tunnel will cause unnecessary harm to the world heritage site. cost has taken too much of a priority in this design. not enough provision has been made for the recovery and retention of artifacts and history that is disturbed and uncovered during the construction phase, it is likely that huge amounts of archaeology will be uncovered in construction but how will this be preserved and retained ?? if the purpose of having a tunnel is to remove harm from the heritage site then surely the tunnel needs to be long enough to achieve this ??
