Light rail stage 2—direct alignment—petition 13-18
By Ms Le Couteur, from 132 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 light rail stage 2 alignment from Gungahlin to Woden (via Barton) does not provide a direct, fast service for residents from the south of Canberra.
The alignment is different to the network publicised prior to the 2016 election which provided a direct alignment from the south to the City and a different alignment servicing the Parliamentary Triangle, Manuka, Kingston and Fyshwick.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call on the government to:
• Ensure public transport travel times are maintained for residents living in Canberra’s south, should a light rail from Woden to the City be built.
• Commit to a direct alignment (using the west side of State Circle to link Adelaide Avenue to Commonwealth Avenue) and extension of the track to Mawson.
• Provide for express services by reserving room in the corridor for a future third track.
Canberra sexual health centre—petition 2-19
By Ms J Burch, from 44 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draws to the attention of the Assembly that: Canberra Sexual Health Centre is a valuable community institution in an outdated building that is no longer fit for purpose or able to meet the current or future demand for services. Further we believe the Centre is under-resourced to meet Current demand.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: Request ACT Health provide increased support for resource and infrastructure improvements at Canberra Sexual Health Centre. The undersigned urge the Government to undertake a needs assessment for a new Sexual Health Centre, with the possibility of a satellite site in the Gungahlin/Belconnen area, to meet the increasing needs of a growing Canberra population. Further we believe the Centre needs additional resourcing to meet current and future demand. This is imperative to support the community of Canberra.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petitions would be recorded in Hansard and referred to the appropriate ministers for response pursuant to standing order 100, the petitions were received.
