Municipal services—footpaths
(Question No 644)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 11 February 2022:
(1) What plans exist for the construction of a community path along Lange Place from Lampard Circuit to bus stop No 4008.
(2) Will there be a public consultation period with the residents before any construction begins.
(3) Is the option to reduce the scope of the footpath to just a connection from Lange Place to bus stop No 4008 viable.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) A community request has been received for the construction of a community path along Lange Place from Lampard Circuit to bus stop No 4008. Transport Canberra and City Services has undertaken a warrant assessment of the proposed missing link to assess its relative merit. The path has been included on the community path infill program list to be considered in a future capital works program.
(2) The community path infill program includes engagement ahead of construction commencement. If a project progresses, residents in the vicinity of the works will receive a letterbox drop at least seven days prior, informing them of the upcoming construction period and any potential impacts they may experience during the works. This includes residents whose driveways may be directly impacted by the construction of the path. These residents will be engaged with both prior to and during works at their property.
(3) The ranking of this missing link has been assessed based on the original community request. The warrant assessment process does not involve options assessment – requests are assessed on whether a safe path can be provided for all path users, and if this can be met then the assessment criteria of strategic, community, public transport and demand needs are applied to prioritise the requests.
