ACT Light Rail: 1989 Gungahlin External Transport Study

1989 Gungahlin External Transport Study

In 1989 the Gungahlin External Transport Study (GETS) was undertaken. It was meant to assess future transport needs for Gungahlin residents - before Gungahlin had even been mapped out or a single new home constructed. These articles are from the Canberra Times and can be found online at Trove.

ACT Light Rail have a copy of the resulting report, but it is in hard copy and yet to be scanned.

Following the GETS study Gungahlin ended up with inadequate roads and finally in 2012 a light rail proposal. This 1991 CT article is quite prescient.

About ACT Light Rail

ACT Light Rail are the peak light rail lobby group in the Australian Capital Territory. We have members from Community Councils, all political parties, environmental groups and members of the general public.

We believe that light rail offers the best form of mass transit for the ACT, and will serve as the backbone of an integrated public transport system incorporating bus's, park and rides, bicycles and active transport.

The ACT Light Rail committee meet regularly to discuss public transport matters of interest and determine our lobbying activities. We hold public meetings on a regular basis.
