No curbs or gutters in Lyneham's Sanctuary Complex?

It would seem Kerces isn’t the only one who can’t get a response out of Fortress Corbell.

Richard Mulcahy is throwing his toys out of the pram over Simon’s (or his office, whichever is less competent) refusal to answer constituency questions from Richard over why the new Sanctuary development in Lyneham is lacking curbs and gutters.

Now Mulcahy aversion would seem to be widespread but if the Minister is going to refuse to answer questions, just because he doesn’t like someone, we’re not going to have much of an Assembly are we?

I can think of a handful of housing estates that I’ve been to in Melbourne with no gutters too. Just the asphalt road, and a strip of concrete level with the road and then the nature strip starts. The drainage gutters are steel grid type things, so the water and stuff can still escape.

I’ll put quids on it that Mr Pratt is impressed that the Libs now have a newly annointed Shadowy Min for Kerb n Gutterin!

I suppose the big question is who’s maintaining the roads?

If the body corporate has to foot the bill for that then the curbs and gutters are in their interest.

If the ACT has to maintain them then it’s in our interest to get them in. Without them we’ll be resurfacing the whole damn road years earlier than need be,

His staff probably don’t even remember the inquiry/ies and I doubt it ever got to him.
