MINISTER FOR FINANCE AND URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 380

Street Lighting - Tennant Street, Fyshwick

Ms Follett - asked the Minister for Finance and Urban. Services:

(1) Is he aware that ACTEW were requested in December 1990 to install street lighting in Tennant Street, Fyshwick, and that there has been no official reply.

(2) Is it true that local business people have been advised by telephone that there is no money available to provide the lighting.

(3) What action will he take to ensure that street lights are installed.

Mr Duby - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The request to install street lighting in Tennant Street, Fyshwick was, in fact, made to the Roads Maintenance Section of the Department of Urban Services, not ACT Electricity and Water, in the form of a letter from Sandra Smithers of Artisan, received 8 January 1991. No written reply has been provided as verbal discussions have been ongoing while a consultants assessment and ACT Electricity and Waters street light design for the area have been sought.

(2) Ms Smithers was advised that funds available in the 1990/91 program for street and public lighting have been fully committed.

(3) The proposed installation of street lights in Tennant Street has been assessed as being of medium priority. This work will be considered for inclusion in the 1991/92 program, subject to assessment of priorities within available funds.
