Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly that we the Tuggeranong community seek to have the buses removed from the café area of the Anketell Street, Tuggeranong Town Centre to an alternate route of Reed Street/Cowlishaw Street/Pitman Street via Lake Tuggeranong College.

This will improve the social amenity of the café area, assist the Government town centres revitalisation program, supports the transport strategy and light rail initiatives, will encourage small business start-ups in the area and the Hyperdome transformation, encourages bus patronage for school children, as well as creating a healthier environment for outdoor dining.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the Government to look into rerouting buses from Anketell Street to Cowlishaw Street as requested.
