Meeting opened Chair Tom Anderson opened the meeting at 7.35pm. About forty persons were present. Tom welcomed Mr David Dawes, Director General, Economic Development Directorate, ACT Government; Mr Hamish McNulty (Infrastructure and Capital Works); Mr Ivo Matesic (Land Development Agency); Ms Alison Abernathy and Ms Chantelle Lustri. He also welcomed Mr Mark Sawa of The Southside Chronicle. 2. Apologies: Tony Gill (Roads ACT), Tim Dalton, John Burke. 3. Presentations: What’s New with the Molonglo Development? Mr David Dawes introduced the presentations and said that if WCCC members had questions that he or others could not answer, he would undertake to take the questions on notice and get a response from the relevant part of the ACT Government. Roads Mr Hamish McNulty began with a presentation about what is happening with the Cotter Road and what other construction works are planned to follow. In relation to the roundabout on Cotter Road outside the Defence Staff College, he said that the utility adjustments had been done, and that works had started on Stage 1 of the new Cotter Road—constructing new lanes on the north side of the road. This work will take about twenty (20) weeks. Stage 2 will be similar construction on the lanes on the south side, and that should take about fifteen (15) weeks. Both Stages should be completed by the end of September 2012. Streeton Drive will become a T-intersection with Cotter Road, and will have traffic lights.

  • The Benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Research to Funders
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 14 ( 2016 ) 2477 – 2486 6th Transport Research Arena April 18-21, 2016 The benefits of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) research to funders Tim Martin a,*, Lith Choummanivong a aARRB Group Ltd, 500 Burwood Highway, Vermont South, Victora, 3133, Australia Abstract Long-term pavement performance (LTPP) monitoring has been conducted in Australia for over 20 years. This research was funded by Austroads (representing federal, state and territory road agencies, local government and the New Zealand road agency) to promote improved practice and capability for the road agencies. The LTPP monitoring program measured performance by rutting, roughness, cracking and deflection. Initially the program involved a range of designated flexible pavement sites under varying conditions of environment and traffic. Many of these LTPP sites were included in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) of the United States (US). All sites were monitored in accordance with the SHRP protocols. Later long-term pavement performance maintenance (LTPPM) sites were included in the program to: (i) assess the impact of surface maintenance treatments on changes to pavement conditions (works effects, WE); and, (ii) assess the impact of maintenance on road deterioration (RD). A range of RD and WE models were developed using the LTPP/LTPPM observational data in combination with experimental data collected from Australia's Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) that separately investigated the impact on RD of increased axle load and various typical surface maintenance treatments. The RD models cover the deterministic prediction of functional surface distress (rutting, roughness and cracking) and the loss of traffic load capacity (strength).

  • 3. Planning and Legislation
    Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment 3. Planning and legislation 3.1 Overview The planning approvals process for the Project would comprise a mix of both Territory and Commonwealth requirements as the Project corridor falls under the administrative authority of both the National Capital Authority (NCA) and the ACT Government through the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD). The authority jurisdictions of the NCA and EPD are discussed in section 3.2 below. This Chapter provides an overview of the applicable planning and approvals process that the Russell Extension Project would be required to follow to gain approval. 3.1.1 Approach to planning approvals for the Russell Extension Project As noted above, the Russell Extension Project would be undertaken as Stage 2 of the proposed Civic to Gungahlin Project (Stage 1). An Environmental Impact Statement for the Stage 1 Civic to Gungahlin Project and is currently (as at September 2015) being determined by EPS. As such, the Russell Extension Project environment and planning approvals are being progressed separately to the Stage 1 planning approvals. This approach has the following key implications to the Russell Extension Project: the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) currently being prepared for the Stage 1 Civic to Gungahlin Project under the ACT Planning & Development Act 2007 (P&D Act) does not address the Russell Extension Project the Stage 1 Gungahlin to Civic Development Application to be submitted to the ACT Government

  • Figure 5.1 Non-Aboriginal Heritage and Historical Archaeology Site Within the Vicinity of the Russell Extension Project Alignment
    Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment Figure 5.1 Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology site within the vicinity of the Russell Extension Project alignment Parsons Brinckerhoff | 2207509A-ENV-REP-008 RevB 43 Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment 5.2.3 Potential impacts Aboriginal heritage The proposed Russell Extension Project alignment has been assessed for its potential to include Aboriginal archaeological and cultural sites. The assessment found that it was unlikely for either archaeological or cultural sites to exist within or in relation to the proposed Russell Extension corridor. The proposed works would therefore not impact upon places of Aboriginal heritage values along this alignment. There are no further requirements for assessment of Aboriginal heritage values for the proposed Russell Extension Project. Adequate environmental management measures would be developed and implemented during the construction of the Project to manage potential impacts to any unexpected Aboriginal heritage item uncovered during construction. Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology The Project has the potential to have an impact on listed and nominated heritage places and objects along its route. Generally, this would comprise potential impacts on the setting of heritage places and objects, rather than direct impacts on their fabric. These impacts could arise from placing new elements, such as substations, within significant settings of heritage places, or by the stops and shelters or associated infrastructure blocking important views to heritage places along London Circuit, Constitution Avenue or Russell Drive. Overall, the approach taken to the design and development of the Russell Extension Project, based on a detailed understanding of the heritage values of the heritage places along the Project alignment, has contributed positively to an appropriate approach which minimise or avoids heritage impacts.

    Deakin Residents Association, Inc PO Box 3310, Manuka, ACT 2603 www.deakinresidents.asn.au Mr David Dawes CEO Land Development Agency ESDD Dear Mr Dawes, Comment on CB+E Development Strategy February 2015 Deakin Residents' Association appreciates the opportunity to comment on the above strategy. We note that the updated strategy has attempted to address some of the comments made on earlier versions of the strategy, but we regret that the current proposals remain far from acceptable in the context of good planning for the future of the immediate area (including Deakin) and the broader planning issues facing South Canberra. We have seen the comments submitted by the Yarralumla Residents Association and generally support the range of issues and arguments they have raised. Our own comments focus on the direct effects on current and future residents of Deakin, as well as the failure to address core planning principles that apply to Canberra and this precinct. We will continue to contribute actively to all consultation processes that are available to us as a residents' community association. The specifics of our comments follow below. Yours sincerely, Peter Wurfel President Deakin Residents' Association, Inc 4 April 2015 2 CB+E Planning and Development Strategy February 2015 Deakin Residents' Association comments to LDA. 1. Deakin Traffic Impacts DRA agrees that: an effective interchange between Cotter Road and Adelaide Avenue/Yarra Glen is overdue and needs to be implemented. Traffic flows in all directions are certain to increase, and better public transport on the Adelaide Avenue corridor must be accommodated. a bus stop on Adelaide Avenue, with proper pedestrian access, is also a priority and should be implemented as an early part of the project, allowing access by current residents (and employees in Deakin West) to the rapid public transport network along Adelaide Avenue We make the following points.

  • Light Rail Update
    Gungahlin to Woden (via Barton) Light Rail Update DATE: 15 June 2018 Artist impression Artist impression STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND CITY SERVICES Canberra is one of the world’s most liveable cities – a destination of choice to live, work, visit and invest. As Australia grows, so too will Canberra. The ACT Government is planning for our city’s growth by ensuring we have sufficient transport infrastructure in place before increasing congestion critically impacts our highly regarded urban amenity and quality of life. Canberra’s light rail network is a transformational city-shaping project for the Territory, providing an attractive, reliable and convenient public transport choice that connects families, students, communities and cultures. The initial corridor between Gungahlin and Woden via the City and the Parliamentary Zone will form the backbone of the network, linking activity centres north and south of Lake Burley Griffin. In time it will be intersected by a future east-west corridor operating between Belconnen and the Canberra International Airport and other network extensions. This light rail update focusses on the development of the City to Woden (via Barton) portion of Canberra’s overall light rail network. Since the last light rail update, the ACT Government has reaffirmed its commitment to developing the project with $12.5 million to be invested in progressing the project throughout the 2018-19 financial year. The ACT Government also welcomes the upcoming inquiry into the project to be conducted by the Commonwealth’s Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories. The ACT Government will continue to engage with the Canberra community as the City to Woden light rail project develops, and as the City to Gungahlin light rail alignment draws closer to completion.
