Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly that the ACT Government intends to cut R2 and R3 routes from West Belconnen, replacing these with local buses from February 2026. The proposed changes to the R2 and R3 will mean that these services terminate at the Belconnen interchange and disconnect the residents of West Belconnen from reliable and frequent public transport options.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to

 - Keep the R2 and R3 bus routes that vitally connect West Belconnen to the rest of Canberra.

 - Explore all other options available to mitigate congestion, including the option of having the R4 travel along the parkway. 

- Acknowledge the importance of a public transport network that is frequent and reliable, and that public transport is essential to minimising congestion on ACT roads.
