Preliminary design works completed. |
(3) Priority and funding of projects will be subject to future Cabinet considerations.
(4) Yes, feasibility studies have been conducted for (2)a.; (2)b.; (2)d. and 2e.
2a. - The provision of the District Playing Fields was considered in the completion of the Stromlo Forest Park Master Plan. In development of the Master Plan an appropriate parcel of land was allocated to support the future provision of four basic sport units (equivalent of eight football fields). This assessment was included in a broader package of works and no specific cost is available.
2b. - The provision of an Enclosed Oval was considered in the completion of Stromlo Forest Park Master Plan. In development of the Master Plan an appropriate parcel of land was allocated to support the future provision of the enclosed oval. This assessment was included in a broader package of works and no specific cost is available. Feasibility/design funding to progress the Enclosed Oval has been appropriated with this work to commence in 2017-18.
2d. - A feasibility study for tourist and school excursion accommodation was undertaken by the Tourism Industry Council and included as part of the Draft Master Plan. Additionally, other studies have been undertaken by Parsons Brinckerhoff and the University of Canberra. These studies have identified the significant economic impact of school excursions to the ACT as well the shortage of specialist group accommodation. The cost to prepare the studies is unknown.
2e. - The pool study found that a district level facility located at the gateway to Stromlo Forest Park and near the Molonglo/Coombs community precinct and River Park was feasible. Importantly the facility could be developed as a part of a community and recreational hub for Molonglo by integrating and functionally supporting the other facilities in Stromlo Forest Park. The cost of the study was $192,000.
(5) Environmental studies for Stromlo Forest Park include:
a. Ecological Assessment;
b. Biodiversity Assessment;
c. Contamination Assessment; and
d. Conservation Management Plan
Each study has numerous outcomes and findings and cannot be replicated within this response. The cost of these studies was either included in broader project works and cannot be separately identified. Further detailed site assessments would be required as part of any planning approval processes.
(6) The cost of constructing a gondola to the summit of Mount Stromlo and associated infrastructure was identified at $13 million with a maintenance cost of $109,000 per annum.
