Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The section of footpath on the southside of Kuringa Drive between Tillyard Drive and Rochford Street was last repaired in December 2019.
(2) The sections of the damaged footpath were inspected and marked on 22 June 2020 for repairs.
(3) The immediate public safety concerns are expected to be addressed by September 2020 and replacement sections will be completed within 12-18 months.
(4) The proposed community paths have been partitioned into three sections for assessment:
a) Asphalt community path on the southern side in the open space between Clarey Crescent and Kuringa Drive from Kingsford Smith Drive to Owen Dixon Drive/Boote Street intersection. It will include short links from/to Owen Dixon Drive on-road cycling lane and future connection with Fraser area. The path is approximately 550m long and 1.8m wide with a kerb ramp.
b) Asphalt off-road community path starts on the southern side from opposite the Owen Dixon Drive/Boote Street intersection to Barton Highway. It also provides short links from/to Owen Dixon Drive on-road cycling lane and from/to the opposite side. The proposed path is approximately 1375m long and 1.8m wide with a kerb ramp.
c) Asphalt off-road community path starts on the northern side from the floodway entrance near Kingsford Smith Drive to Barton Highway. The proposed path is approximately 1610m long and 1.8m wide.
(5) The conversion of the reserve’s existing unsealed access track into an asphalt shared path has not been considered as part of this assessment or any other, as the track forms part of the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT). Planning for active travel and recreational trails takes into consideration the separation of equestrian routes such as the BNT from other active travel routes where possible to avoid potential conflicts with people walking and cycling.
Municipal services—footpaths
(Question No 3251)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Roads and Active Travel, upon notice, on 31 July 2020:
(1) Is the Government aware of a footpath that connects Alroy Circuit and Kulgera Street on the east side of Hawker Primary School is currently set lower than the surrounding area, especially along its northern section, and this results in it frequently being covered in mud, dirt, leaves, and sticks, making it difficult to use; if so, what steps will the Government take to resolve it.
(2) Is the Government aware that partway down this path, staggered log barriers have been placed to prevent use by motor vehicles, but the opening in these is too narrow for many prams; if so, what steps will the Government take to resolve it.
