Our monthly meeting is held on the first Wednesday of each month (Feb - Dec) at 7.30pm upstairs at the Hellenic Club in Matilda St, Phillip.

Membership is free and new members are always very welcome. Contact us at info@wvcc.org.au or Ph 0420 529 747

Article posted on Monday 30 January 2012 | Add your comment

In August 2011 Roads ACT introduced 40km/h speed areas in the Woden and Gungahlin Town Centres as part of a trial to help improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. The trial has run for six months (August 2011 to January 2012) operating on a full time basis (24 hours a day, seven days a week).

Roads ACT is now evaluating the trial to determine the effectiveness of the 40km/h speed area in improving safety for vulnerable road users. Community feedback is invited from traders, shoppers and road users. Speed, traffic volumes and pedestrian surveys will also be conducted.

Transport Plan 2011-2031

Article posted on Friday 11 November 2011 | Add your comment

The ACT Government has recently put out a draft Tranport Plan through to 2031. The Public Transport chapter is accessible via http://www.environment.act.gov.au/ under the Transport Planning header. A private submission has been made by Henry Hatch which emphasises the need for short trip times across the network, and the need for a much higher speed transit system on routes such as the Blue Rapid route through Woden. While comments on the plan have now closed, it will remain a hot issue.

Henry Hatch's submission is available here »...
