4. Local feedback maps The majority of feedback received related to locations around tunnel entry and exit points, ramps and proposed road surface changes. The following three maps have been prepared summarising suggestions and concerns raised around these locations and include Homebush, Concord, Haberfield and Ashfield. The feedback raised relates to the WestConnex M4 East November 2013 preliminary concept design. The motorway design team is considering this feedback to refine the design and to mitigate impacts where possible. More detailed information on the design will be available when the Environmental Impact Statement is displayed in late 2014. 44 M4 East Community Feedback Report
