Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to the car park at Kaleen Community Hall has fallen into significant disrepair.

 It is frequently riddled with potholes, and during periods of heavy rainfall it floods, creating a serious safety risk for all who use it. Residents have been advocating to the Minister for City and Government Services since 2023 for a permanent solution to these issues. Funding was promised in the 2023–24 Budget to deliver a lasting fix; however, this commitment has yet to be fulfilled. 

It should also be noted that this issue is not limited to the hall carpark. There is significant damage to the surrounding footpaths, which also poses a serious safety risk to the community and should be addressed as a matter of urgency. 

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to Call on the ACT Government to: Commit to the assessment, design and funding of a permanent solution in the upcoming 2026/27 ACT budget to the various maintenance issues at Kaleen Community Hall to ensure the safety of all users.
