Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Roads ACT assessed the parking conditions on Dundas Court. As a result, modifications have been implemented, in consultation with the traders, to improve the parking situation. Also designated parking bays have been allocated to buses. This would confine buses to these spaces especially during peak business hours.
(2) It is the responsibility of Parking Operations to patrol this area to ensure that the new arrangements are not breached.
