Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 3 June 2022:

(1) In relation to the feedback from the Umbagong replacement bridges in-person consultations at Umbagong and Kippax Library, how was feedback collected from constituents who attended the in-person consultations.

(2) Will there be a listening report released that contains the feedback received or summary of the feedback received; if so, when; if not, why not.

(3) What changes to the designs are being considered following the consultation period.

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

ii. clarifying feedback using props such as artist impressions of the bridges and a tape measure to demonstrate balustrade heights;

iii. documents/ sketches received from the community during the sessions were recorded; and

iv. Territory representatives in attendance took notes of issues, questions and comments raised during the in-person sessions.

(2) A What We Heard report summarising the feedback received during the engagement period is currently being finalised and is expected to be released later this month.

(3) Key design changes being considered are:

v. improving pedestrian views from bridge 1193 by including a lookout area;

vi. providing a seat for pedestrian views on the lookout area;

vii. passing space on the bridges expanded from 1.8 metres to two metres;

viii. providing natural ‘rusted-finish’ handrails rather than stainless steel; and

ix. signage to encourage cyclists to adopt slower speeds on the bridges.
