Cycling and pedestrian infrastructure
(Question No 1930)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 17 November 2011:
(1) In relation to walking and cycling infrastructure, can the Minister clarify what the relationship is between the allocated $3.6 million recurrent funding to increase bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure through the Labor-Greens Parliamentary Agreement and the $9.2 million allocated to walking, cycling and signage over four years for walking, cycling and signage described in Budget Estimates Hansard of 24 May 2011, p 808.
(2) How does this $9.2 million differ from the announcement of $9 million for the seven cycling projects including the city cycle loop last week.
(3) Is the additional $1.5 million allocated in Budget Paper 2011-12, p 82, part of the $9.2 million figure.
Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The $3.6 million recurrent funding covers the maintenance of the existing footpath and cyclepath network. The $9.2 million forms part of the Capital program which refurbishes and or upgrades walking and cycling facilities including the provision of improved signage.
(2) The $9.0 million announced to progress the seven priority cycling projects includes $4.2 million from the $9.2 million Capital program which had previously been unallocated to projects.
(3) No; the $1.5 million allocated in budget paper 2011-12, p 82 is in addition to the $9.2 million Capital program and is for the construction of cycling infrastructure associated with the Pearce Chifley community path project.
