Federal Capital rail line central in city plan says engineer
Civil engineer J M Coane told the Federal public works committee that the main railway should enter the city centre near the Parliamentary group and that an overhead line could avoid many level crossings. He supported lakes for beauty but warned against large areas with low water levels, citing Canberra’s dry-season water flow and limiting lake area to prevent mosquito breeding. He favored eliminating the proposed large eastern lake near the Quéanbeyan dam proposal.
