The Deakin Residents Association invites you to join a community walk to better understand the potential impacts of Light Rail Stage 2B on the Parliamentary Precinct.
Date: Sunday 26 April,
Starting point: Surveyors Hut. 10:00 am

(limited parking, with overflow in Forster Drive)

The walk will offer:

• a shorter return route of approximately 1.5 km to the area proposed for traffic lights at the top of Adelaide Avenue and associated tree loss near The Lodge
• an extended walk of approximately 3 km continuing around the Parliament House perimeter bushland

While there has been considerable attention on constraints along the eastern alignment, other aspects of the current proposal have received little scrutiny. There are concerns about the State Circle route, including impacts on:

• heritage and environment values within the Parliamentary Precinct
• potential increases in travel time
• delays due to traffic lights at the top of Adelaide Avenue and an additional set on State Circle
• the loss of trees and native bushland opposite The Lodge
  • damage to the circular bush perimeter that was a defining feature of the original design winning competitor

This walk will provide an opportunity to view these areas on the ground and to discuss the implications as planning progresses.

We hope you can join us. Please let us know via the link.
