Light Rail 2b Public Consultation Open until 30 June 24

The ACT Government announced that public consultation for Light Rail 2b was open until 30 June 2024

The Deakin Residents Association (DRA) remains concerned about the high costs of the Light Rail proposal compared to the benefits of alternative options such as electric buses and improved cycleways. We believe the impact on Deakin’s heritage values and overall amenity is significant.

DRA aims to continue to raise awareness about the proposed expenditure, potential environmental damage, and the need for wiser investment in public transport. Your feedback is crucial in ensuring that the voices of Deakin residents are heard.
Opinions can be aired at public consultation.
