Petitions

The following petition was lodged for presentation:

Mitchell light rail stop—petition 6-18

By Ms Fitzharris, from 4,560 residents:

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: The planned Lysaght/Flemington Road light rail stop was removed from construction without adequate consultation with business owners and rate payers of the precinct.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: Request on our behalf to reinstate the light rail stop planned for Mitchell.

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.

Pursuant to standing order 99A, the petition, having more than 500 signatories, was referred to the Standing Committee on Environment and Transport and City Services.
