GCC's November meeting heard from Brown Consulting - designers of another portion of the incomplete Horse Park Drive.

This section will extend the western end from Arrabri Street to Burrumarra Avenue, to facilitate construction of the Casey development, and planned for completion late 2009.

We are concerned that this project doesn't extend as far as Mirrabei Drive, and that only going as far as Burrumarra will direct traffic from Casey onto local suburban streets, as people shortcut through to the town centre.

However the representatives informed us that the further stages of Horse Park Drive are going to tender directly, for construction shortly after this stage. We'll have to keep an eye on this.
