by Mr Cornwell from 12 residents:
To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: that the Duffy Shopping Centre is in urgent need of a full refurbishment program. This should be implemented as a matter of priority by the Minister for Planning, Mr Simon Corbell (the Local Member).
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call on the Minister for Planning to have this urgent refurbishment program (upgrade) to be incorporated in the coming Budget 2003-2004 Works Program.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petitions would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petitions were received.
