On 26 August 2009 Council adopted the Googong and Tralee Traffic Study (2031) formerly known as the Draft Queanbeyan Strategic Traffic Plan (2031). The Ellerton Drive Extension was part of a program of recommended road network improvements identified in that study. In June 2014 grant funding for the construction of the Ellerton Drive Extension from both the Australian Commonwealth and NSW State Governments was announced. Queanbeyan City Council (‘Council’) now proposes to complete the design and construct the 4.6 kilometre extension of Ellerton Drive terminating at the intersection of Old Cooma Road and Edwin Land Parkway (referred to as ‘the Proposal’ for the purposes of this report). The Proposal alignment runs between northeast Queanbeyan and southern Queanbeyan along the eastern urban fringe and in a road corridor predominately set aside and zoned for this development. The Proposal would provide a connection between the Yass Road/Bungendore Road/Ellerton Drive intersection in Queanbeyan East to the Old Cooma Road/Edwin Land Parkway intersection in Karabar. The Proposal will reduce heavy vehicle movements and traffic congestion from the Queanbeyan city centre by providing an alternative route around the Central Business District (CBD). A bridge across the Queanbeyan River is included in the Proposal to provide continued connectivity through Queanbeyan during major flood events. A large portion of land to the west of the Proposal alignment is populated with low density rural residential properties surrounded by bush. The land to the east of the alignment is mountainous bush connecting to the Cuumbuen Nature Reserve, and open rural grassland, some of which is identified for future land development. South of the Queanbeyan River the surrounding land use is predominately residential. The landscape incorporates dry forest and woodland some of which is protected under State and Federal conservation laws. The land also falls within the fringe of the Local Environment Plan’s ‘biodiversity overlay’ as part of a regional bio-link. Queanbeyan City Council is the proponent and determining authority for the Proposal under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) is the prescribed method of fulfilling Council's obligations under Section 111 of the EP&A Act and this document has been the subject of a recent public exhibition process. The REF was prepared by SMEC Australia and placed on public exhibition for an extended period of 60 days from 12 December 2014 to 9 February 2015. The following documents were exhibited online (http://www.qcc.nsw.gov.au/Ellerton-Drive-Extension/EDE) and at two locations (Queanbeyan City Council’s Customer Service Centre and Queanbeyan Library): Review of Environmental Factors (REF) Draft Species Impact Statement (SIS) Preliminary road designs Heritage report - Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Archaeological Report (ACHAR). In addition a public meeting (Community Forum) was held on 28 April 2015. Ellerton Drive Extension – Submissions Report i This Submissions Report has been prepared to provide details on submissions received during the REF public exhibition period, as well as for the period up to and after the Community Forum. During the period that the REF was on public exhibition Council received formal submissions as well as undertook public feedback and surveys. A total of 357 formal submissions were received in response to the public exhibition of the REF; this included the formal submissions and responses to feedback forms. Of the 357 submissions and feedback forms, 188 responses were in support for the Proposal, 140 against, and 29 other opinions. In addition, over 150 written questions along with some presentations prepared by community members were lodged prior to and after the Community Forum. The responses to these questions form part of the Submissions Report. The survey forms received are not included in the total number of submissions, however issues raised from these surveys are included in the relevant sections. A total of 121 survey forms were received, of which 78 responses were for the Proposal, 38 against, and 5 other opinions. One submission lodged by a community group included a petition opposing the Proposal. The comments raised by the respondents in their submissions included: The project is well overdue, and will improve traffic congestion in Queanbeyan Concerns regarding the cost of the project to the current community (Queanbeyan rate payers) and future generations Traffic noise generated in a rural setting, and the inadequacy of mitigation measures Lack of consideration of alternative routes Lack of benefits from the Proposal, and where funding could be better spent The adequacy of the consultation process General amenity impacts. An Addendum to the SIS was prepared by NGH Environmental and placed on public exhibition from 4 May 2016 to 3 April 2016. The document was exhibited online (www.qcc.nsw.gov.au ) and at the Queanbeyan City Council’s Customer Service Centre. The community feedback has been considered and responses to the comments have been provided by Council as part of this report. In some cases, additional management measures or changes to the existing management measures outlined in the REF or raised during the public exhibition process have been made. This Submissions Report will be read in conjunction with a Determination Report. The Determination Report will be prepared on behalf of Council by an external consultant, AECOM Australia Pty Ltd, having regard to Section 111 matters under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The Determination Report will provide a recommendation on the Proposal to Council. Ellerton Drive Extension – Submissions Report ii Table of contents 1.

  • COSTCO FUEL KEEPS PRICES DOWN Costco Fuel Unleashed the Pumps at Majura Park in December
    ISSUE NO.73 I MARCH 2015 ABOVE REACTION FROM COSTCO MEMBERS WHEN COSTCO FUEL OPENED IN DECEMBER. COSTCO FUEL KEEPS PRICES DOWN COSTCO FUEL UNLEASHED THE PUMPS AT MAJURA PARK IN DECEMBER. As fuel prices have been a highly contentious global issue over recent years, and there is a limited amount of private fuel stations in the Nation’s Capital, the dramatic price reduction that Costco offered its members last December was very well received. A price war ensued with Woolworths and other nearby petrol stations battling it out to share the demand in the Canberra Airport area. Costco members can now buy petrol, fresh food and groceries, and even televisions at a lower cost at Majura Park, Canberra Airport. With Ikea on the way, a Masters, the largest Woolworths in the country as well as numerous specialty stores, Majura Park is proving to be a key destination for people in Canberra and the region to stock up - all with free parking.

  • Freight Operations
    CHAPTER 6 FREIGHT OPERATIONS “Working in partnership with land use and planning, transport can play an integral part in supporting the emergence of industrial areas and economic hubs, such as Canberra’s international airport and its future air freight potential for the Capital region and beyond.” ACT GOVERNMENT – MOVING CANBERRA 2019–45 6 Freight Operations Airfreight arriving and departing Canberra Airport has a long history over many decades. This movement of freight by air has been, and continues to be, carried by a mix of aircraft over a 24-hour cycle. Freight is carried by defence aircraft, domestic passenger aircraft and dedicated domestic aircraft and from time to time international freight aircraft. The opportunity arising from international passenger services at Canberra Airport will soon systematically broaden the airfreight capability for government and business operations within the region and provide a new driver for growth of freight hub operations through Canberra Airport. Over 95 percent of the international airfreight task into and out of Australia is carried by passenger aircraft. Over the 21 years since privatisation, Canberra Airport has seen an ongoing range of overnight airfreight operations catering to the existing needs of Canberra and the region, as well as a range of other overnight aircraft movements including defence, ad- hoc VIP and domestic passenger aircraft. This is expected to continue and diversify with the opportunity of overnight international passenger services arriving and departing Canberra Airport. Singapore Airlines operates a daily passenger service Canberra non-stop to Singapore departing Canberra between 11pm and midnight each evening. Qatar also operate a daily passenger service departing Canberra to Doha, via Sydney, between 1pm and 2pm each afternoon.
