Light rail—stage 2

MR PARTON (Brindabella) (4.18): I move:

That this Assembly:

(1) notes the ACT Government has:

(a) already committed to building Stage 2 of the tram to Woden and has already begun associated works;

(b) not yet made public an estimate of how much the Stage 2 tram project will cost and has not made public an estimate of when the tram will arrive in Woden; and

(c) not produced a business case for Stage 2 of the tram to Woden but will build the tram regardless of what the business case states;

(2) further recognises:

(a) building the tram to Woden has already commenced where the component of raising London Circuit will cost $60 million, with an estimated completion time of July 2024;

(b) more than 675 car parks have been removed from Civic as part of the commencement of work associated with building the tram to Woden, but no cost of the tram nor end date has been shared with the public; and

(c) Light Rail Stage 1 had a cost estimate, a time of completion and a business case completed long before the first works started; and

(3) calls on the ACT Government to make a public statement providing an estimate:

(a) of which decade, which year and which quarter will the first tram arrive in Woden, by the final sitting day in March 2023;

(b) to the nearest $100 million of how much the tram to Woden will cost, by the final sitting day in March 2023; and
