Did the Minister, in response to a letter regarding Crace Hilltop Reserve, state that “City Services is further assessing the damage with the intention of repairing the memorial map. The required repair works on site are expected to commence once suitable options to remediate the issue are identified”; if so, (a) have repairs been completed ; if so, when; if not, why not, (b) has Transport Canberra and City Services identified the cause of the damage; if so, can the Minister provide details and (c) what was the total cost of repairing the memorial.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
a) City Services is continuing to investigate remediation options for the Battle of the Coral Sea Memorial. Due to the specialised skills required to repair the memorial map, the identification of an appropriately qualified and skilled contractor is presenting a challenge and taking some time. Once a suitable contractor is found, City Services will proceed with scheduling the required repairs.
b) TCCS has determined that damage to the memorial map was not due to an act of vandalism, but rather unintentional damage caused during the act of routine cleaning and maintenance. TCCS is reviewing the cleaning and maintenance practices to ensure better protection to the memorial once it is re-instated.
c) The cost to repair the memorial has not yet been determined.
