(4) If the study has not been complete, when will it be.

(7) Will Yerrabi Pond receive an upgrade to the foreshore before 2024; if so, when; if not, why not.
(8) Has the Minister or Transport Canberra and City Services received correspondence about parking at (a) Yerrabi Pond and (b) Yerrabi Pond foreshore; if so, how many and was the sentiment positive, neutral, negative.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) A feasibility study and assessment of the parking at Yerrabi Pond is being undertaken and additional parking is being considered and investigated at the Commercial Precinct adjacent to Phyllis Ashton Circuit. Additionally, parking restrictions and additional line marking is also being considered to improve the efficiency of parking around this vicinity.
(2) The study and associated designs are in their final stages.
(3) The total contract price for the study is $90,620.55 (inc GST). This pricing is inclusive of feasibility and design work on parking provision for the commercial precinct, and lighting for areas of the Yerrabi Pond path and the Gungahlin skate park.
(4) October 2022.
(5) The study is being completed externally – a specialist engineering design consultant was engaged.
(6) The successful provider is RD Gossip Pty Ltd.
(7) All upgrade works are subject to future budget considerations.
(8) During the period of the feasibility and design phase, two questions from the community were received in relation to the feasibility and design work on parking. One related to whether parking provided along the foreshore area (on Phyllis Ashton Circuit) would negatively impact the natural landscape setting along the pond foreshore; and one was not supportive of adding parking to the Nellie Hamilton Avenue median strip.
Since 2019, as the Minster, I have received seven letters or enquiries specifically about parking at Yerrabi Pond. These queries have raised issues with insufficient availability of parking or allocation of time for parking at Yerrabi Pond.
