(2) How much of the funding is uncommitted (eg not required to pay for an existing contract) for the projects listed in the response as (a) Feasibility studies - duplication of Tharwa Drive and extension of Nudurr Drive, (b) Planning better roads for our growing city, (c) Making our roads safer while keeping Canberra moving, (d) Better connecting Belconnen and Gungahlin, (e) Delivering safer intersections and (f) Keeping our growing city moving Safer intersections.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1)
a) Tharwa Drive - This project will investigate the possibility of duplicating the 1.6km section of Tharwa Drive between Woodcock Drive and Pockett Avenue in Banks including improved safety at its intersections and better active travel links via shared paths and on-road cycle lanes.
Nudurr Drive - This project will deliver traffic modelling to inform whether the extension of Nudurr Drive from Grampians Street to Gungahlin Drive is required.
b) Athllon Drive Infrastructure Study and Duplication Concept Design - This project will produce an Infrastructure Study documenting the ultimate service and utility requirements of the Athllon Drive corridor adjacent to the proposed new development areas opposite Phillip, and a concept design of the duplication of the unduplicated sections of Athllon Drive. These being the duplication of Athllon Drive for the 2.4km section between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive (the southern section) and a 0.6km section from Shea Street to Melrose Drive (the northern section). Particular attention is being given to providing safe and effective active travel infrastructure such as on-road cycling lanes and shared paths.
Morisset Road Extension - This project is the detail design and environmental and planning approvals for the upgrade and extension of Morisset Road and a retardation basin on Sullivan’s Creek. The project also includes an investigation of Sandford Street from Flemington Road to Gungahlin Drive to facilitate a heavy vehicle freight route into Mitchell, then through to the Barton Highway, and onward to the Hume Highway.
William Hovell Drive duplication - This project is the detail design and environmental and planning approvals for the duplication of William Hovell Drive between John Gorton Drive and Drake Brockman Drive. The project will include the provision of on-road cycling lanes and a dedicated shared path for the 4.5km length. Attention is also being given to facilitating the Bicentennial National (equestrian) Trail and a dedicated access and parking for the heritage listed Old Weetangera Cemetery.
c) HSVPP - Works involve the design and construction to upgrade multiple intersections within the Commercial Route Network.
Bridges Renewal– Works involve the design and construction of a 2-lane bridge and associated works to SM1600 design standards.
Northbourne Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation – Works involve the rehabilitation of the road pavement on various sections of Northbourne Avenue including the milling, replacement of deteriorated pavement subgrade and asphalt resurfacing and landscaping works.
