These streets are currently operating at twice their design peak hour volumes and will otherwise be a source of concern for both residents of Palmerston and the Department of Urban Services.

There is a distinct economic benefit to all ACT residents in keeping the road on its planned alignment and in constructing it as soon as possible.

As I mentioned before, the residents have not gone away empty handed. They have caused the road design to be altered as a benefit to themselves and they will share in the smooth operation of the traffic links in Palmerston.

In conclusion, the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment Nineteenth Report are agreed to by the Government.

The government will now allow construction to start on Nudurr Drive. The construction will also include the $70,000 worth of additional works as agreed with the Nudurr Drive Action Group.
