MS BERRY: As I said, the government is committed to making sure that everybody in the ACT community has access to a home of their own, whether that is an affordable rental property, whether that is a home in the suburbs or whether that is in a high-rise in the city. The ACT government will continue to work to make sure that everybody, regardless of their income, gets to call a home their own.
Access Canberra—traffic infringement notices
MISS C BURCH: My question is to the Minister for Business and Regulatory Services.

Following this, a business owner and residents were advised that there was a gentlemen’s agreement and that the building company was to send a parking plan to TCCS to provide alternative parking on Mortimer Lewis Drive. As recently as this week, due to the parking chaos, people still cannot get a car park and there has been at least one accident this week. Why are there still parking and traffic issues plaguing this area, such that visitors to the learn-to-ride park cannot get a car park?
MR STEEL: I thank the member for her question. It is because the construction vehicles associated with buildings in the area have been parking in the car park. That is the reason. We have been working with the developers, and it was my
