Reason for this Petition
This petition of certain members of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:
• Kippax and Charnwood shopping centres are areas of high traffic and serve as central hubs for many of the surrounding suburbs and sporting facilities;
• Neither of these shopping centres has water refill stations; and
• Kippax shopping centre does not have a container recycling facility.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the ACT Government to:
• Install a water refill station at both Kippax and Charnwood shopping centres; and
• Install an express return point for containers at Kippax shopping centre.
