The price of housing in Canberra is soaring. The land available is restricted and the aging population need more options. The reduction of land size for multiple dwelling housing is a great idea. Though I would prefer to see small developments (rather than groups of townhouses), such as duplexes, that can fit cohesively within the surrounding neighbourhood.

I am a resident of Crowder Circuit and was unable to attend the meetings at the Labor Club.

I agree with the comment about the concerns with Freemantle drive. An extension to the suggestion of parking could be:

Block off access to Teesdale Place from Crowder Circuit. Every time I drive out of Crowder Circuit I always take extra care as many drivers from the Club and the playing fields don't look before they turn into Crowder Circuit and drivers turning into Crowder Circuit from Freemantle drive cut corners or go onto the wrong side of the road as the corner is so tight and narrow. A bad accident is waiting to happen.

Teesdale place could be continued from the its end to meet the College car park, go through the south part of the College parking area and straight out to Freemantle drive. This would make Teesdale Place the access for vehicular traffic to all the ovals and the club and parking for the College.

To add more parking use the vacant unused land behind the College. This would accommodate all the parking needs for the College. As well it could reduce parking congestion on Streeton Drive when netball carnivals are being held.

We have lived in this area, ie Frmantle Drive, for 36 years and have experienced traffic disregarding the speed limit daily.We have had vehicles land on our front garden on 4 different occasions. My suggestion is some sort of traffic carming measures to be implemented in conjunction with the other road works proposed in your most recent newsletter.

Concern for further increased traffic into Crowder Circt. to sporting areas and club. The street is narrow and preference should be given to have another road entrance to sporting areas and the clubhouse.

Don't agree to make 3 lanes in Freemantle Drive - it is main thoroughfare in Stirling and too far away from the Education Building, issue into "T" junction into Bunberry Street.

Dept. Education: My thoughts for parking/overflow is to use the back area which goes down to the old tennis courts and still well light for night classes.

My child goes to Orana and I’m VERY surprised that there hasn't been a fatality at the corner of Dixon/Streeton drives and Unwin pl. there have been so many near accidents that I’ve witnessed. I cringe at the thought of some poor child being hit by a car whilst trying to cross that road to get to school. let me tell you - if it's mine, I’ll certainly be suing the government as they have definitely been made aware of the risk for several years now and have failed to act on it.

As a cyclist and a user of the off road path I find the fact that cars now have a left turn lane to use where they feel they don't have to indicate they are turning left an issue with working out who is potentially going to run me down and who isn't! Please extend the path beside Liardet St! As for on road cycling I think it was better when there were 2 lanes heading south.

To help solve the parking problem at Cooleman Court - what about fixing up the Kambah village shopping centre to encourage more people to use this facility, thus freeing up Cooleman Court.

There is lots of underutilised parking at the back of the teaching centre near the Canberra Labor Club. Why not redirect people to this location, rather than undertake expensive changes to the road. My personal priority is for them to spend money on putting a continuous footpath (pram and wheelchair friendly) on that side of the road and do something to screen the ugly DET bins that face Freemantle.
