Parks and conservation—fire trails management
(Question No 390)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 6 August 2021:

(1) Which government agency is responsible for maintaining the two drainage ditches that exist to divert run-off from the fire trail located immediately behind Marrakai Street, Hawker.

(2) When was the secondary drainage ditch (located approximately five metres behind the houses) last cleaned of vegetation and soil.

(3) When was the primary drainage ditch (located approximately 10 metres south up the hill from the fire trail) last cleaned of vegetation and soil.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Transport Canberra and City Services.

(2) No record is available of previous clearing in these facilities. Both cut-off drains were inspected in August 2021. Based on inspection, it is considered that the removal of vegetation could destabilise or scour the cut-off drain. Some limited cleaning and desilting activity will be undertaken. Overall, the cut-off drains were assessed to be functioning effectively.

(3) See response above.
