(Question No 355)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for Planning and Land Management, upon notice, on 9 June 2017:
(1) Does the Government plan on urban renewal and subsequent zoning changes along Light Rail Stage 2 other than at Woden Town Centre.
(2) What plans for urban renewal and densification are planned along the proposed stage 2 routes in the next five, ten and twenty-five years.
(3) What consultation is planned with the surrounding community regarding future development along the proposed stage 2 routes.
(4) Why do the intertown public transport routes on the Territory Plan map not align with the publicly-available Light Rail Master Plan.
(5) What timeframe does the Directorate have for the completion of updated intertown public transport routes for the Territory Plan map.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Light Rail Stage 2 project team have been investigating future land use scenarios and urban renewal opportunities along the corridor to inform the development of the Stage 2 Business Case. These scenarios are being developed with other stakeholder Directorates and will consider both opportunities and constraints for renewal.
The extent of any potential urban renewal and subsequent zoning changes along the corridor has not been determined at this stage.
Any planned or potential changes resulting from this decision would be subject to the requisite evaluation, community consultation and approval processes of the Territory (as conducted by EPSDD) at that time.
(2) The ACT Government’s indicative land release schedule identifies potential land release sites across the Territory between 2017-18 and 2020-21. Some of these sites do fall within the Light Rail Stage 2 corridor and are being considered in the future land use scenarios for the Business Case.
The extent of any potential urban renewal and subsequent zoning changes along the corridor has not been determined at this stage.
(3) In the event future land use changes are identified as part of the Light Rail Stage 2 project, these would be subject to the necessary evaluation, community consultation
