  • Better Roads Policy.Pdf
    Labor has a strong track record of investing in better roads across Canberra’s main arterial roads and in our suburbs. A number of major road improvements are underway or complete including Stage 1 of the Gundaroo Drive upgrade, the duplication of Aikman Drive, Ashley Drive, Horse Park Drive, Cotter Road, and the upgrade of the Barton Highway roundabout. Major road construction of the Majura Parkway and Constitution Avenue were completed earlier this year. Road duplications Labor’s Better Suburbs Plan includes investment in a number of key roads around Canberra, including the duplication of William Slim Drive between the Barton Highway and Ginninderra Drive, Gundaroo Drive from Gungahlin Drive to the Barton Highway, and the duplication of Athllon Drive between Sulwood Drive and Drakeford Drive. This follows on from stage one of the Gundaroo Drive upgrade between Gungahlin Drive and Mirrabei Drive/Anthony Rolfe Avenue, the duplication of Aikman Drive, Ashley Drive, Horse Park Drive, Cotter Road, and the upgrade of the Barton Highway roundabout, which are all currently underway. Major road construction of the Majura Parkway and Constitution Avenue were also completed earlier this year. Designs for new road works Labor will fund the design of a number of new roads, including Athllon Drive, the Nudurr Drive extension, Tharwa Drive duplication from Woodcock Drive to Pockett Avenue, and William Hovell Drive duplication northbound Safer intersections Labor will also make intersections safer in Belconnen, Gungahlin and Woden, with upgrades at the following locations: -Kuringa Drive and Owen Dixon Drive (Belconnen) -Southern Cross Drive and Starke Street (Belconnen) -Belconnen Way and Springvale Drive (Belconnen) -The roundabout at Gundaroo Drive/Anthony Rolfe Avenue/Mirrabei Drive (Gungahlin) -Launceston Street and Irving Street (Woden) Road re-sealing blitz We will also conduct a road resealing blitz, with an additional $6 million to be invested across the city, to ensure our roads are well maintained and safe for all road users.

In the past decade our economy has shifted into a higher gear and the evidence is everywhere: on the skyline, in the form of new buildings; and on the ground in every direction, in the form of new arterial roads, higher density developments, new schools where they are needed, and once-in-a-generation major utility infrastructure.

  • Ground Transport Plan More Than 30,000 People Currently Travel to and from Canberra Airport to Fly, Greet, Work, Do Business Or Shop, Every Day
    CHAPTER 11 GROUND TRANSPORT PLAN MORE THAN 30,000 PEOPLE CURRENTLY TRAVEL TO AND FROM CANBERRA AIRPORT TO FLY, GREET, WORK, DO BUSINESS OR SHOP, EVERY DAY. THESE NUMBERS WILL MORE THAN DOUBLE WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE. 11 Ground transport plan Canberra Airport adjoins Majura Interchange at the junction of Canberra’s north-south and east-west corridors. As such, the Airport is strategically located for the development of a major activity node. Similar airports around the world, where major activity nodes are developing, are now known as an Aerotropolis. Being so close to the CBD and Parliament House, as well as having such a large number of residents (particularly from Queanbeyan, Tuggeranong and Gungahlin) drive through the Majura Interchange past or nearby the Airport every day. The Airport is a key employment location to minimise drive times and travel distance for sustainable transport initiatives. Canberra Airport and the ACT Government (especially Roads ACT) have worked co- operatively since 1998 on the delivery of ground transport solutions for the entire Majura Valley so metropolitan and regional through traffic can be better managed without constraining local traffic flows. In addition to regular consultation and partnering in updating traffic studies and work programs, the development of previous Airport Master Plans (1999, 2005 and 2009), and the ACT Government’s 2006 Majura Valley Roads Roundtable have provided an ongoing robust process for identifying the traffic demand source and solutions. During 2007 – 2012 Canberra Airport made representation to the Australian Government supporting the ACT Government’s request for Majura Parkway funding. In 2013 Canberra Airport contributed to the public debate on light rail for Canberra.

  • E2011-0062 Attachment
    Excerpt from quote for monitoring from Alison Rowell Block 3, Section 22 Barton, ACT: • 5-year monitoring event for Golden Sun Moth • Condition assessment of Natural Temperate Grassland I attach my quote for monitoring and assessment of the Natural Temperate Grassland and Golden Sun Moth for the above site, as requested by Department of Finance & Deregulation (Finance), and as prescribed in the Maintenance Plan for the site prepared by PB Australia in 2007. The project will be supervised by Alison Rowell (targeted curriculum vitae attached), who will undertake the vegetation assessments and some of the GSM survey, and prepare the report. Subconsultants Dr Will Osborne, Mr Tom O’Sullivan and will be involved in marking of moths and statistical analysis. 1. Background The site contains a population of the Golden Sun Moth (GSM), which is listed as Critically Endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and Endangered under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 1980. GSM habitat on the site is ‘Natural Temperate Grassland of the Southern Tablelands of NSW and the Australian Capital Territory’ which is listed as an endangered community under the EPBC Act 1999 and the Nature Conservation Act 1980. The aim of the Maintenance Plan for this site is to ‘conserve native plant diversity while maintaining the structure and species composition thought to be favourable to the survival of the Golden Sun Moth’. The success of the Plan is to be gauged by regular monitoring of plant diversity, vegetation structure and the GSM population. 2. Scope Finance now requires: 1. an NTG condition assessment of Block 3, Section 22 Barton that maps the extent and condition of vegetation associations on the site and compares the results with the vegetation mapping conducted in 2007.

  • Roads for Canberra
    6 ROADS FOR CANBERRA This Budget is building better roads for Canberra. This investment is part of the Government’s plan to build an integrated transport network, focusing on roads, public transport and active travel – so we can better connect people to transport hubs, town centres and other communities. This Budget delivers more than $90 million in spending for new roads and road infrastructure – in addition to the ongoing road resealing and maintenance program. The $90 million in roads will also create jobs – providing work for the local design and construction sector. Better roads for Tuggeranong This Budget invests $24.6 million over three years for the duplication of Ashley Drive from Erindale Drive to Ellerston Avenue. The duplication of Ashley Drive will improve Tuggeranong’s road network, as it acts as a major thoroughfare for traffic travelling from the South Tuggeranong suburbs such as Calwell and Gordon to Woden and the City. Better roads for Gungahlin This Budget invests $62.3 million in road upgrades to cater for the growing Gungahlin region. $31.2 million to duplicate Gundaroo Drive between Gungahlin Drive and Mirrabei Drive/Anthony Rolfe Avenue $17.1 million for Horse Park Drive. This will fund: o duplication of Horse Park Drive between Anthony Rolfe Avenue and Well Station Drive; o upgrade of the Horse Park Drive and Mapleton Avenue intersection; and o Horse Park Drive and Well Station Drive intersection. $14 million to improve roads in the Gungahlin Town Centre, including extensions of The Valley Avenue and Manning Clark Crescent. Media contact: Ellie Yates 0434 860 282 [email protected] 6 Safer roads for Canberra This Budget invests $2.5 million over two years for feasibility and/or design studies for six key intersections and access routes across Canberra.
