I am advised that there is a playground at Proserpine Circuit located at the opposite end of Alice Street, which is close by to the Amaroo Shops.
At this stage, the ACT Government is working to deliver our current program of improvements and upgrades to recreational spaces across the Territory, including the new Recreation Park in Casey, an upgrade at the Burramarra Avenue play space in Ngunnawal and improvements around Yerrabi Pond.
The Government will consider opportunities for new and upgraded play spaces in Amaroo in future stages of our suburban infrastructure program. Consultation will be undertaken to ensure community needs and priorities are identified and incorporated.
I trust this information is of assistance.
Kippax Fair—parking—petition 39-22
By Mr Steel, Minister for Transport and City Services, dated 1 March 2023, in response to a petition lodged by Mrs Kikkert on 30 November 2022, concerning parking at Kippax Fair.
The response read as follows:
Dear Mr Duncan
Thank you for your letter regarding petition 39-22, lodged by Ms Elizabeth Kikkert MLA, regarding parking at Kippax Fair.
ACT Government car parks are being redeveloped at selected locations to meet the vision and objectives of the ACT Planning Strategy. The Government is seeking to promote development of Canberra as a compact and efficient city through increased density in town and group centres, along major transport routes and at other appropriate locations. This will also support Government and community objectives on transport and climate change.
The Section 53 car park was sold in June 2022 to provide for diverse residential and commercial spaces with sustainable features including no gas connections and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
This car park, which was predominately used by staff at Kippax, had peak use of 29 of 64 spaces when the last parking survey was undertaken in May 2022, showing peak utilisation of less than 50 per cent. Parking spaces that cater for employees or long-stay visitors are typically provided at the periphery of busy centres. Sometimes these long-stay parking spaces are shared with local facilities such as sports facilities, that often have different peak times to shopping areas.
At Kippax Group Centre, there are around 400 long-stay and free parking spaces within close walking distance, including on Moyes Crescent adjacent to the group centre. These car parks experience low utilisation during the week and after hours when the sportsgrounds are not being used.
