This petition of residents, business owners, service providers, shoppers and visitors of Manuka and Kingston shopping centres, Australian Capital Territory, draw to the attention of the Assembly that the shortage of bus transportation services and readily available parking needs to be addressed. This lack of transportation and parking is having a negative impact on the commercial success and enjoyment of these areas and also having a negative impact on the convenience of using these shopping centres.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to provide public transport in the form of a shuttle bus from the Parliamentary Zone to the Manuka and Kingston shopping centre areas. We request the Assembly to provide such transport from 12 noon to 2.30 pm every day from Monday to Friday (public holidays excepted). This is an initiative of the Manuka Business Association.
