Horse Park Drive
MR WOOD
: Mr Cornwell yesterday asked me a question concerning the construction of Horse Park Drive, and why the costs have see-sawed from $7 million to $10 million. The answer is simple. The estimate prepared for the project that was included in the 2002-2003 budget papers of $7 million was based on the concept design only. Following detailed design, the project was tendered and the best value-for-money tender was $10 million. Given the importance of this project to the people of Gungahlin, additional funding for the project has been obtained.In my response to the recent question concerning delays, I acknowledge that the project is behind the original program, due to more problems with the design, including the need to avoid some significant trees. There has been no construction delay since the contract was awarded.

MR WOOD
: On the same subject, Mrs Dunne asked me a question as to when it would become a dual carriage roadway. The answer to that question is: duplication in about 10 years time, subject to estimations, as travel volumes rise.Discrimination and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people
