Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Shane Rattenbury along with former Australian Greens leader, Dr Bob Brown and Senator for the ACT, Zed Seselja officially marked the completion of the Parliament House walk.
“13 interpretive signs have been installed along the 3.4km pathway, which runs from the city centre along a safe route adjacent to Commonwealth Avenue and links up to Federation Mall outside Parliament House via a new path between State Circle and Old Parliament House.” Mr Rattenburry commented.
Mr Rattenburry explained that the new signs have been developed to complement other interpretive signage around Lake Burley Griffin which encourages people to access the tourism, cultural and entertainment facilities in the area.
Rattenburry added that the Australian and ACT Government jointly funded the $200,000 project. The Australian Government gifted $100,000 to the ACT Government in the 2012-13 Federal Budget, in recognition of our centenary year.
