Related Parliamentary Function Investigation...

To come up with a solution that allows school kids going to Canberra, as well as politicians staying in Canberra easy access to Parliament house, I had to somehow find out where the most common places to stay where. After some thorough looking over the internet I found that the most popular places for politicians to stay where actually within walking distance to Parliament House, or in the city centre where the light rail will link to anyway. These places were The Park Hyatt Hotel and Hotel Kurrajong.

School children generally stayed in caravan parks for their camp, and some were quite far out from Canberra- these being Capital Country Holiday Village and Eagle Hawk Holiday Park.

It isn’t viable to create a light rail that connects out to these locations, so we will have to design the rail to connect to the other school camp areas near the Bruce Ridge Nature Reserve- these being Canberra Motor Village and Bush Capital Lodge. I found this information from various accommodation and school websites, though after I did this Dee uploaded information from one website that outlines many different accommodations for school excursions.  Bush Capital Lodge that the light rail will connect to is mentioned on the website which explains the features of the accommodation:

“Catering exclusively to groups, Bush Capital Lodge offers a safe, friendly and welcoming environment. It's tranquil bushland setting and quick and easy access to Canberra's attractions and sporting venues makes it an ideal base from which to enjoy your visit to the National Capital. Facilities include 2 lodges accommodating up to 140 people, all linen provided, 4,6,10 bed dorms, laundry facilities, reverse cycle air conditioning, BBQ Terrace, outdoor recreation space and ample off street coach parking.”

By providing an alternative option for transport other than expensive buses, the light rail will allow more people to come to the area for a cheaper and more thorough experience.
