CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Aged Persons Units - Red Hill

Question No 165

MRS GRASSBY Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 30 May 1990:

(1) Is the Chief Minister aware of the development of aged

persons units on the corner of Fortitude and La Perouse Streets,

Red Hill.

(2) Is he aware that the exit from these units onto La Perouse

Street is between two school crossings and on the Pop of a slight

hill.

(3) Is he aware that the Red Hill Primary School Board believes

that the location of the exit poses a safety hazard to children

using the crossings.

(4) Is he aware that the Interim Territory Planning Authority

approved the location of the exit without detailed discussion

with the Traffic Branch of the Department of Urban Services.

(5) Will the Chief Minister agree to ask the Interim Territory

Planning Authority to reverse its stance on this issue by forcing

the developers to change the exit to Fortitude Street, thus

eliminating the safety hazard to children in the vicinity.
