Gungahlin Drive Extension

Controversially, as at November 2004, the Gungahlin Drive Extension (GDE) is being built through the natural forest and open woodlands of Belconnen, running north-south beside the Australian Institute of Sport, joining Gungahlin Drive with the Tuggeranong Parkway (the major north-south freeway through Canberra.)

Supporters of natural parkland want the road building stopped, and have demonstrated at the ACT Legislative Assembly and by chaining themselves to earthmoving equipment;
Gungahlin residents were promised the road as part of their district's development, and have protested against the anti-road supporters;
The ACT Government has determined that the road should be built, and has changed the law to prevent further opposition from community groups.

Most of the GDE has been completed and opened. The remail section it expected to be completed in 2008.
