Labor promises shops upgrade, but no big rush

Narrabundah shops… selected for an upgrade.

LABOR has pledged to spend more than $22 million in local shopping centre precincts across the city, but they’ll take four years to do it.

“This will include upgrades at local shops in Campbell, Narrabundah, Kaleen South, Duffy, Evatt, Macquarie, Monash, Calwell, Lanyon and Cooleman court. Upgrades will range from landscaping, footpath renewal and mobility upgrades, new seating, new bins and improved waste management,” says Labor leader Andrew Barr.

“In addition to this, a re-elected ACT Labor government will also invest $1.2 million to upgrade public bathrooms at local shops in Lyneham and Colbee Court, and construct a new toilet at Florey shops.

“If re-elected, work is expected to commence on Campbell, Kaleen and Duffy with priority as feasibility studies on these sites were completed by ACT Labor in government. The remaining upgrades to be delivered by 2024.

One Response to Labor promises shops upgrade, but no big rush

As with anything that Labor or the Greens “promise” you have to ask – why hasn’t this been done already? It’s 4 years since the last election and they’ve been in for 19 years! And on top of that they’ve flushed the ACT finances down the toilet, so I simply can’t believe them anyway.
