Civic—parking facilities
(Question No 2191)
Mr Mulcahy asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice, on 20 August 2008 (redirected to the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services):
(1) How long will the temporary car parks near Commonwealth Avenue, next to Lake Burley Griffin, be operational;
(2) What will happen to this car park when it is no longer operational;
(3) What specific plans does the Government have to provide permanent car parking facilities in Civic.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. The temporary car park is expected to operate for at least five years.
2. It is intended that it will be returned to an open grassed area.
3. The Government is ensuring that a condition of city developments is the replacement of publicly available parking as well as the provision of on site parking to meet some of the additional generated demand. In addition, the Government is investigating suitable sites for multi-storey car parks in the City area.
