All hail Gungahlin as Horse Park Drive attracts a bidding war

THE My Gungahlin website has played host to Meegan Fitzharris promising the duplication of Horse Park Drive.

I am very pleased to let you know that we will be upgrading all of Horse Park Drive from the Federal Highway to Mulligans Flat Road, and this work will be funded in this year’s ACT Budget!

This appears to be a gazumping of today’s announcement by the Liberals’ Alistair Coe and Jeremy Hanson that they wish to also upgrade that blighted motorway:

“As Gungahlin has grown the Barr government has moved at a snail’s pace to do anything about road infrastructure in the area. Our commitment to duplicate Horse Park Drive and scope further works recognises the huge growth with the development of new suburbs like Bonner and Forde as well as future development in places like Throsby, Moncrieff, Jacka and Taylor,” Mr Coe said.

“The Canberra Liberals will match the government’s belated financial commitment for the duplication.
