MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE
Yamba Drive -- Proposed Vehicle Bridge
MR MOORE - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts without notice on 16 October 1990:
Can you tell us the estimated cost of the proposed vehicle bridge over Yamba Drive as part of the Woden Valley Hospital remodelling. Additionally, can you clarify whether the bridge over Yamba Drive will be a footbridge or a vehicle bridge.
MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to Mr Moores question is:
The Transport Plan for the Royal Canberra Hospital (South) site was produced in December 1990 by the traffic consultants engaged as part of the master planning team for the Hospitals Redevelopment Project.
The Transport Plan was produced after a detailed analysis of traffic and car parking needs associated with the consolidation of Royal Canberra Hospital (North) on the Royal Canberra Hospital (South) site, and included consultation with all relevant ACT Government Authorities.
The Transport Plan recommends that all car parking associated with the Royal Canberra Hospital (South) site should be contained within the current site boundaries, ie the area bounded by Yamba Drive, Hindmarsh Drive, Palmer Street, Gilmore Crescent and Kitchener Street. Therefore, as car parking is not now required on the western side of Yamba Drive, as assumed in the preliminary planning phase of the project, there is now no requirement for any type of bridge across Yamba Drive, in relation to the provision of access to the hospital from car parking areas.
