These residents were not well informed by the notification process which used an out of date manual database to provide residents' addresses. The database had not been updated and could not be checked on the computer records due to union workbans imposed at the time. New methods of overcoming this problem have been put in place by the Department of Urban Services to ensure that this situation will not occur again.

Departmental Officers met with the residents to outline their plans and answer residents' queries. A positive outcome of this public consultation for the residents was the offer to include an earth mound and increased density of landscaping to the value of $70,000. These additional funds may be met by the existing construction allocation for the project. If exceeded, the balance will come from the Gungahlin and Dunlop Bulk Provision item. This will further reduce the impact of the road on the residents. Note the design of the road was well within ACT standards even before this inclusion.

This was a good result for the Nudurr Drive Action Group who, despite the recommendations of the report have not gone away empty handed.

Nudurr Drive is needed because high traffic pressures on Burrowa Street and Kosciusko Avenue will be relieved by its construction.
