I’ve heard from many Garran residents in recent weeks – via emails, mobile offices, phone calls and feedback from the Garran Residents Association. I have been talking with the community about concerns with carparking and traffic in the Garran area, particularly around the shops. 

I’ve presented a summary of what you’ve told me to Mr Chris Steel, Minister for Transport and City Services; copied below. 

As with any traffic issues, the matters involved are always complex and multi-faceted. Traffic engineers from Transport Canberra and City Services, together with Minister Steel and myself, are listening to the concerns being put forward by the community and are applying expertise to ensure appropriate outcomes to best serve the interests of everyone concerned. 

I’ll continue to request updates from Minister Steel, and to report back on progress.
