It could really improve the lives of residents in many ways. For example, food prices are excessive because so much comes in by boat, but if food was moving by road the prices would be a lot lower. Improving road access could also create a lot of jobs from tourism. Mobile phone towers up the road could also make it much safer.
I know people say the character of the Cape might be lost, but really there will still be plenty of other unsealed roads, including the Tele Track, for 4WDrivers to enjoy.
As for the cost, we wasted $100 million on the same-sex marriage survey to tell us what we already knew, so $200m for the development road sounds like money well spent to me.
So, get sealing, I say.
What do you think?
