PETITION

 

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory:

​

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:

​

• 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.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the ACT Government 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 shop access for older shoppers and those with disability.
