Reassessment of Light Rail stage II
DRA continues to be concerned about the growing expense of the Light Rail proposal – Civic to Woden compared to the benefits of alternative options such as electric buses and improved cycleways.
Through this initiative, DRA would like to raise awareness about the waste of public funds, environmental damage and highlight the need for wise investment in public transport.

DRA believes the National Capital Authority (NCA) should not grant Works Approval for RLC because it is part of Light Rail Stage II.
