(4) What consultation has been undertaken on alternative sites with the Hall community, Aboriginal stakeholders and heritage bodies to ensure that the issues around artefacts and protocols are not encountered.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) TCCS are continuing to facilitate an acceptable outcome for the proposed Hall Bike Trail working with the proponents in the community and the ACT Heritage Council. The proposed next steps include a co-design process to engage community members, including children. The co-design will provide a basis and direction for progressing the project including location, design, and cost estimates. The resulting concept plans will be made available for input by Hall residents, ACT Heritage and others with an interest in the proposal. Once feedback has been received further developed plans will be prepared to seek formal approval from ACT Heritage.
(2) Six sites around the village of Hall were considered as part of the initial public consultation and only one was deemed fit for purpose at the time. A new location adjacent to the preferred location is currently being considered as part of the co design process, along with a reconsideration of the type of outcomes that would meet the community’s needs while addressing Heritage matters.
(3) TCCS considers that the provision of supporting infrastructure such as toilets, picnic facilities, drinking fountains and off-street parking will provide an opportunity to enhance the play experience, and would support a proposal such as the Hall Bike Trail. Opportunities to align proposed play spaces with existing infrastructure is generally supported to ensure the benefits of the investment is maximised.
(4) Consultation on any alternative sites and the nature of the proposal will be undertaken with the proponents, the Hall community, the Village of Hall and District Progress Association, ACT Heritage and Registered Aboriginal Organisations following the outcome of the co design process.
