Residents of Canberra's inner-south have provided crucial feedback to a community consultation process looking at bus stops connecting residents of Yarralumla, Curtin, Deakin and Hughes to the rapid frequent network along Adelaide Avenue, Minister for the Environment and Sustainable Development, Simon Corbell, said today.

"It is clear that improving public transport along Adelaide Avenue was seen as a key priority by workers and residents of the inner-south, with around 70 per cent of respondents supporting or fully supporting the government's bus stop options on Hopetoun Circuit, Kent/Novar Street and Carruthers Street," he said.

"Currently, residents in the area have to travel to Civic or Woden town centres on a local bus service, before taking a further journey, which can often take a lot longer than a direct service up Adelaide Avenue."

Mr Corbell said this was the first of a two-stage consultation process and had been vital in helping the government to gain a better understanding of public transport expectations and needs in the area.

"One of the key issues raised throughout consultation was the need for additional transport and infrastructure to support the new bus stops such as bus connections, parking, bike facilities and pedestrian/cycle path connections," he said.

"Another concern raised was the potential impact the stops would have on the existing bus rapid services and lead to overcrowding.

"These are key considerations the government will look at as we assess and develop the community's preferred options with a second consultation process to commence in coming weeks."

A total of 33 submissions from individuals had been received with six submissions from community organisations in this round of consultation which included a community information session, an online survey and written submissions.

The Adelaide Avenue Bus Stops Study was commissioned as part of the ACT Government's Transport for Canberra policy which aims to increase the share of public transport trips to and from work to 16% by 2026.

The second stage of the process includes the preferred options for bus stops at each of the three locations. The community will have an opportunity to ask questions and comment from 25 August.
