“Mr Barr said the project was part of the government's plan to expand the footprint of Canberra's central business district and make it more pedestrian friendly.
"’This precinct as it currently stands prioritises motor vehicles first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth and tenth,’ Mr Barr said.
"’There is no space more alienated to people than what we currently have now. There are more rabbits there in a single day than there are people over the course of a year. That's going to change as a result of this initiative.’"
