MINISTER FOR FINANCE AND URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 410

Paving - Nangari Street, Civic

Mrs Grassy - asked the Minister for Finance and Urban Services on 17 April 1991

(1) How much did the new paving work along Mangan Street in Civic cost the ACT taxpayer.

(2) Can you explain this unnecessary expenditure during this period of budgetary restraint.

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

(1) The cost of paving in Mangan Street is

$31,000.

(2) The old pavement in Mangan Street consisted of

concrete and gravel.

The gravel section was being scoured away creating safety hazards to pedestrians. Subsidence together with general usage and upheaval due to tree roots has led to an increase in public complaint and claims against the ACT Government from personal property damage and personal injury.

The new pavement has also upgraded an important area within the city business district.
