TO: The Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly
Reason for this Petition
The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly
- more than 20 local businesses now trade at the Florey Shops;
- an increase in use of the shops is putting strain on existing car parking;
- to succeed, businesses at the Florey Shops require sufficient parking options for their customers as well as their staff;
- one-quarter of Florey residents are age 60 or above, and many of these older residents rely on the Florey Shops.
Requested Actions
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to
- assess and implement options to improve car parking at the Florey Shops, including extending existing car parks, optimising parking options for both customers and staff, and improving parking choices and shoppers' access for older shoppers and those with disability
