Roads—Ainslie
(Question No 2278)
Mr Coe asked the Minister for Roads, upon notice, on 15 February 2019:
(1) How long has the unsealed surface on or adjacent to Angas Street in Ainslie been used for car parking.
(2) Has the ACT Government investigated or undertaken any reporting or assessments on the site; if so, (a) when was this undertaken, (b) what reporting or assessment was undertaken and (c) what were the results or findings.
(3) For each of the last five financial years, what is (a) the number of square metres of the carpark on or adjacent to Angas Street that has been resealed as part of maintenance works and (b) what is the number of square metres of the carpark on or adjacent to Angas Street that needs to be sealed to have a fully sealed carpark area.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The gravel surface adjacent to Angas Street in Ainslie is not a designated official carpark, as per recordings in the Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS) database. However, the surface has been used informally for this purpose over many years. The date from when parking occurred is not recorded.
(2) TCCS undertook a Feasibility Study for the upgrade of this site to a formal carpark. The study was completed in July 2017. It was recommended to upgrade the carpark.
(3) a) no sections of this informal parking area have been sealed in the last five financial years. The gravel area was graded and treated with a dust suppressant in 2016-17, however this is not technically classified as a seal which would typically include bitumen, chip seal or asphalt.
b) approximately 1500 square metres.
