Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Ainslie and Weston were chosen by Roads ACT, after consultation with the Office of Ageing and the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD) in consultation with the Council of the Ageing (COTA), based on current and projected age demographic profiles, and differences in their respective built environments.
(2) Construction of priority one improvements in Weston is expected to commence in May 2016 and be completed by September 2016. The program will be confirmed once the construction contractor is engaged.
(3) All suburbs under consideration for age friendly suburb improvements are prioritised based on current and future demographic profiles, the location of age care facilities, and the suburb’s need for additional active travel facilities.
(4) The Government will consider suburbs for upgrades in future budgets.
(5) The program for each suburb is allocated over two years. The two-year timeframe allows for investigation and community consultation before design and construction. Two suburbs per year are currently planned.
