“by the end of May 2020”, as the tactile indicators in this location are currently in the same condition as before, were the tactile indicator tiles in this location repaired or replaced in 2020; if so, why has the same problem emerged.

(2) What can and will be done to create a more lasting fix.

(3) When will this be completed.

(4) If the tactile indicator tiles have not been repaired or replaced yet, why not and when will they be.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Following an initial inspection of the tactiles, there were no immediate safety concerns identified. The tactiles were then listed on a program for replacement in May. Due to competing priorities and impacts on resourcing, materials and work activities associated with COVID-19, there were delays to these works being completed in May. The site was inspected again in the week beginning 10 August 2020 and due to the further deterioration of the tactiles, they were subsequently removed on 20 August 2020.

(2) It has been established that a ceramic tactile would provide greater durability and withstand vehicle damage than the existing indicators.

(3) Roads ACT is in the process of identifying a supplier that has concrete block tactiles in stock and placing an order. The timeframe will depend on supply timeframes for the tactiles, which may be impacted due to COVID-19 border and supply restrictions, however Roads ACT is hopes installation will be completed by the end of September 2020.
