Petition
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Ms Le Couteur, from 40 residents:
Planning—Gungahlin
To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory
This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that: the Gungahlin residents below do not endorse the proposed Well Station Drive Extension road joining Horse Park Drive in its current form.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: consider minor changes to the proposed alignment of Well Station Drive where it adjoins the intersection with Horse Park Drive to reroute the road to the East side of the hill on vacant land, rather than between the existing houses and the hill.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petition was received.
