ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 1055
Gungahlin Drive-Gundaroo Drive Intersection -
Construction Costs
Mr Westende - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning
What is the exact final cost of the construction of the intersection up until the completion of the Gundaroo Road/Gungahlin Drive roundabout in Gungahlin.
Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:
The construction of the intersection of Gungahlin Drive and Gundaroo Drive was carried out in three stages in three consecutive financial years. The staging of the works reflects the different access requirements with time and the underlying requirement to maintain traffic flow along old Gundaroo Road.
Earthworks and pavement construction for Gundaroo Drive past the future intersection was carried out as part of the William Slim Drive Extension contract (1990/91 financial year funding). This was carried out with the future intersection in mind and saved on the need for an expensive temporary connection to old Gundaroo Road which would have been removed at the time of construction of the intersection.
The intersection with Gungahlin Drive .was constructed as part of the Gungahlin Drive project (1991/92 financial year.funding).
The contract for the next stage of Gundaroo Drive from Gungahlin Drive to Mirrabei Drive (1992/93 financial year funding) included conversion of the intersection to roundabout control.
The cost of construction of the intersection is as
follows:
Earthworks and pavement for Gundaroo Drive
component within the future intersection only $45,000
Initial intersection construction $174,000
Conversion of intersection to roundabout control $240,000
TOTAL $459,000
