Update your maps, London Circuit is reopening between Commonwealth and Constitution avenues

Gavin Smith waste of money, sports events generate most money for corporate airlines, hotels and ticketing that isn’t locally owned.
The economic returns that light rail will generate being extended to the Southside will far exceed that of a couple of sports events a year.

Carla Macgregor say what! You’re talking 30000 people 40 times a year……a convention center that brings enormous revenue for the city, restaurants bars, hotels.
We live in a city with a a decrepit single use facility, no soccer field that can have a decent crowd, loosing public pools, about to loose our only hockey rink.
If you don’t like sports that’s fine, but understand the dollars spent. No one is coming inter state to ride a Choo Choo from Gunghalin to the city

Can you explain where you got the billion dollar figure from? Did one of the liberals make up a figure and tell you, pretty precise too right on a billion, no more no less?

Bruce Hunt Apparently, if you don’t like something, you just make up a number, claim that’s how much it cost, and see if it makes anybody mad. If not, you keep raising the number, hoping somebody’ll believe it. It doesn’t seem particularly effective, except maybe on talkback radio. 😉

I wonder if the Canberra Liberals’ opposition to these big infrastructure projects contributed to the big (more than 3%) swings against them in Kurrajong last year and Canberra this year?

Scott Abela canberra is only getting bigger this should have been done 20 years ago

Dave Bishop The $8 Billion in debt..? yeah, debt is for 3rd world economies, soft drug laws are for 3rd world lifestyles… And there are cheaper, faster and smarter options for mass transit, its the 2000s, not 1900s already… Boomers enjoyed free university and better services because they had no debt to service.

Dave Bishop it should’ve been started when Woden and Belconnen were being built.
