Tuesday, 20 September 2005
MR SPEAKER (Mr Berry) took the chair at 10.30 am, made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional owners, and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Petitions
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Stefaniak, from 1032 residents:
Car parking—Nicholls
To the Speaker and the Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Australian Capital Territory. The petition of certain members of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly community concerns about the insufficient number of car parking spaces available for patrons at the Nicholls Shopping Centre. The traders at this centre are constantly losing business because of the lack of car parking spaces. The situation is even worse of an evening and restaurant owners confirm the parking situation is so critical they will be forced to close their businesses unless urgent steps are taken to provide more car parking spaces.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to take all necessary steps to increase and improve the Nicholls Shopping Centre car park before traders are forced into recession.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petition was received.
