Seselja pledges $30m for Gungahlin road upgrades

ACT Senator Zed Seselja says if re-elected a Coalition government would dedicate $30 million to intersection upgrades in Gungahlin.

Mr Seselja said the commitment will prioritise funding for upgrades that improve safety and ease congestion in the suburb, which according to the ACT government has three of Canberra’s seven most dangerous intersections.

“Any Canberran who drives through Gungahlin regularly knows the roads need fixing,” said Mr Seselja.

“There are dangerous intersections across the town centre, and congestion issues will only continue to increase as Gungahlin continues to grow.”

The ACT Government has identified intersection improvements in Gungahlin as part of the major roads improvements program in its ACT Infrastructure Plan.

Mr Seselja said the funding commitment would accelerate these plans and ensure safer and more reliable commutes for Canberrans across Gungahlin.

What a monumental stuff in Gungahlin! Good on Zed for pushing through this additional funding but the blame for the stuffup should be laid fair a squarely at the Barr labor/greens government. This was a green fields site and they had a blank canvas and all of the expertise in the world to get it right. They even created the Gungahlin Development Authority to ensure local knowledge and consistency in planning decisions. They still got it wrong! Why can’t these bunch of incompetents just simply go away.
