What reasons might make careful digging worth exploring: fewer road strikes, less road damage, parking relief, 24/7 access, erosion care, future spoil as resource, reef habitat, power storage and community assets?
Reasons before scale
What would careful digging need to help before it earned trust?
Sandworm becomes worth exploring only if each layer solves something people already care about.
Could Gumpi model the first autonomous loop?
The ferry gateway may be a useful maker-space and open-data start because the transport system is already visible there.
What are wildlife road hits telling us?
If local rescue statistics are showing 250+ kangaroo and wallaby road hits in 2025, what transport redesign questions deserve daylight?
What is heavy traffic doing to the roads?
How do tourist buses, trucks, rain damage and constant repairs change the case for moving major arteries off the fragile surface?

Who is stranded when public transport sleeps?
What happens to disconnected towns, older residents and workers when public transport is thin before 6am and after 8pm?
If spoil appears, where could it go?
What source, test, destination, risk check and possible second life would make a material stream trustworthy?
How could the story stay honest?
Could film and documentary invite support while still showing doubts, unknowns and reviewer voices?
