Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 14 Hansard (12 December) . . Page.. 5115 ..

Mr Speaker, I am pleased to respond to the findings and recommendations contained in Report Number 19 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment.

The recommendations of the committee are completely in line with government policy on road design in the ACT and particularly in Palmerston where the planned road system has been known for some time.

The report recommends that the work proposed by the Department of Urban Services proceed. This would include extra improvements suggested to the residents to provide greater amenity.

The work proposed is considered to be the most economic option available while still maintaining a high standard of amenity to adjacent residences.

The work proposed includes the construction of the northern carriageway of Nudurr Drive from a new roundabout on Gundaroo Drive to Grampians Street in Palmerston.

The work will also include a parallel cycleway, a new pedestrian underpass and lighting for the new intersection.
