MR SPEAKER (Mr Rattenbury) took the chair at 10 am, made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional custodians, and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Petitions
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Seselja, from 148 residents.
Gowrie Oval car park—petition No 113
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 many residents and parents are concerned about the traffic arrangements and pedestrian safety around the Holy Family Parish Primary School in Gowrie, particularly relating to the car park at Gowrie Oval which is used by many parents as a pick up point for their children after school each day.
Your petitioners therefore request the ACT Government to immediately introduce measures to improve the safety for children within the Gowrie Oval Car Park, including traffic calming devices such as speed bumps, pedestrian crossings and improved signage.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister for response pursuant to standing order 100, the petition was received.

The Clerk: The following responses to petitions have been lodged by a minister:
