(5) What was the total cost of repair to the 15 bus shelters in Gungahlin which were damaged on 25 June 2017.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Data on repairs to bus shelters has historically not been differentiated. This is partly due to the difficulty in determining if the damage is due to an accident or an act of vandalism.
(2) Graffiti, damage to street signs and streetlights may at times be due to vandalism, however it is not always possible to differentiate between vandalism and accident related damage or deterioration of an asset.
(3) Repeat occurrence of certain types of damage in the same location is an indicator of deliberate damage. Patterns of repeat occurrences are monitored using TCCS’ asset information system.
(4) Refer to response to Question 3.
(5) One TCCS owned aluminium bus stop in Gungahlin was damaged on 25 June 2017 at a repair cost of $415.00 to replace the glass. The remaining bus shelters damaged are owned and maintained by Adshel.

Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Investments in the current budget will support capacity expansions at Harrison School and Neville Bonner School, as well as expansions at Palmerston District Primary School and Gold Creek School. A new P-6 school is due to open in the suburb of Taylor in 2019, which will add significant additional capacity to the region. The Government has announced funding for early planning work for a new school in East Gungahlin. This school will open in time to meet the growing needs of the region and, at the right time, the government will announce an opening date for this new school. In my response to your earlier question (No 235 of 12 May), I
