Page Description: More than 30 homes and 84 businesses in Footscray are earmarked for compulsory acquisition to make way for the Regional Rail Link. Residents first learned the news through the media, waiting in some cases for more than 36 hours for official notification. Affected residents and traders are unimpressed with the complete lack of prior consultation and the generally disorganised and disrespectful way in which the Department of Transport and the Government have managed the process.
