Territory and Municipal Services are asking for members of the public to self select as a “focus group” on the duplication of Gundaroo Drive:

Gungahlin residents and other interested stakeholders are invited to participate in a focus group session to discuss the duplication of Gundaroo Drive.

“Carrying up to 12,500 vehicles a day, Gundaroo Drive provides an important link for Canberrans travelling from Horse Park Drive through to William Slim Drive in Belconnen,” Tony Gill, Director, Roads ACT, said today.

“As the population continues to grow in the Gungahlin region, so too does congestion of the existing road network. In recognition of the importance of Gundaroo Drive for people travelling to and from Belconnen and within Gungahlin, plans to duplicate this road are now underway.

“Following completion of the preliminary design, local residents and other interested stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the duplication of Gundaroo Drive. Consultation activities will include a focus group session on Thursday 22 November 2012 from 6 pm to 8 pm and two information sessions in December 2012.”

Sorry why is this a Clayton’s consultation? Looks like standard fare consultation approach to me…

Because the govt/RoadsACT are going to ignore the outcomes of any consultation, like they usually do

They only really do it so they can tick a box on a form.

Still, at least they’re pretending to consult in this case. With other road projects they just impose their solutions onto the community without talking to anyone

‘Claytons consultation’ – welcome to Canberra.

Gundaroo and William Slim Drs needed duplicating 5-10 years ago.. They still remain an unfunded dream of Katy’s potential government.

The roads need to be done in their entirety and an overpass built in place of the roundabout at the Barton Hwy, otherwise there will still be significant problems with bottlenecks after its built.

They will need to continue on and duplicate William Slim Dr at the same time or it will be a waste of time and do nothing to solve traffic issues. All the feeder roads such as WSD and Kuringa Dr should of been duplicated before GDE was built

Yes, surely they will do William Slim Drive first, it can be a bottleneck in the arvos.
