Roads—Ginninderra Drive
(Question No 2766)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Roads and Active Travel, upon notice, on 27 September 2019:

(1) What evidence has been collected by the ACT Government to suggest that there is currently no need for a road duplication of Ginninderra Drive due to a projected increase in traffic from the Ginninderry land development.

(2) What results have been discovered by Transport and City Services when monitoring traffic flow in this area as the development progresses.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

1) Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS) utilises transport modelling to forecast future travel demand and to evaluate any impacts of strategic land use decisions on the transport network. Current modelling supports duplicating Ginninderra Drive between Florey Drive and Tillyard Drive beyond 2031 when West Belconnen is further developed. This connection is part of the proposed future off-site works for the Ginninderry development.

2) As noted above, duplication of Ginninderra Drive between Florey Drive and Tillyard Drive is anticipated. TCCS will continue to monitor its operation as development is progressed.
