Reason for this Petition

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws the attention of the Assembly that:

Currently there is only one petrol station servicing the 23,000 residents of Weston Creek, which is located at Cooleman Court. This population is set to grow significantly with the development of the Molonglo Valley. Only one petrol station for such a significant and increasing proportion of the Canberra population is grossly inadequate, and leads to unnecessary waiting times at peak transit periods.

These petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:

1. Zone and designate land for a new petrol station to service the Weston Creek and Molonglo regions.
2. Position the new petrol station adjacent to the intersection of Cotter Road and Kirkpatrick Street, to better service the residents of the Molonglo region, as well as those Weston Creek commuters who use the Cotter Road.
