Election promise traffic lights corner of Westralia Street and Stuart Highway
11 December 1996
Shane Stone made an election promise to install traffic lights on the corner of Westralia Street and Stuart Highway Stuart Park following a number of traffic accidents at this T intersection. Also students from St John's College had to cross the Stuart Highway without the safety of a controlled crossing to access the Stuart Park shops. Campaigning for the seat of Port Darwin Shane Stone committed to the installation of traffic lights. Construction commenced in November 1996; candidates once elected must honour their election commitments or risk defeat. This was a small project but one that significantly impacted local residents - all politics is local. Official turning on of the traffic lights. Doug Gibbons, Mick Fox (CEO St Vincent de Paul) and electorate secretary Pearl Ogden.
