If you've been wondering about the roadworks on Gundaroo Drive south of Palmerston, that's one of the entrances to the new suburb of Crace, the other being from Nurdurr Ave, already built.
There are details about Crace on the ACTPLA page for the new Territory Plan in the concept plan.
Over the last year or so, we've been trying to get assurance from Andrew Barr that Nurdurr Road will be extended right through to Gungahlin Drv so Palmerston people don't cop a heap of rat-running. And the latest news is good.
The Minister confirmed at my last meeting with him that this would definitely happen - it is now in the 4-year works plan, but may come earlier depending on post-GDE traffic studies.
Regarding connections to Gungahlin Drive, the new Territory Plan map shows Franklin is also to get one more intersection with Gungahlin Drive, not far north of the Wells Station Drive intersection. Not sure the street name, but it will run virtually all the way to Hibberson Street (east end) so will pop out right next to the new business park precinct when that is built.
