Meeting opened WCCC Deputy Chair Tom Anderson opened the meeting at 7.35pm. Twenty persons were present. Tom welcomed three Members of the Legislative Assembly, Speaker Mr Shane Rattenbury (Greens), Ms Caroline Le Couteur (Greens), and Mr Jeremy Hansen ((Liberal). He also welcomed the guest speaker, Ms Linzi Lamont, from the ACT Electoral Commission. 2. Apologies Mal Ferguson, Pat McGinn 3. Minutes of the Previous Meeting The minutes of the previous public meeting (November 2010) were accepted as circulated. (Moved: Trevor Wilson; Seconded: Simon Hearder) 4. Presentation: Redistributing Electoral Boundaries for the ACT Legislative Assembly Ms Linzi Lamont from the ACT Electoral Commission said that the Electoral Commissioner, Mr Phillip Green, had sent his apologies, as he was out of town. 1. Linzi opened her presentation by explaining that the main job of the Electoral Commission is to run elections for the ACT Legislative Assembly. This includes reviewing the size of electorates before every election and carrying out a redistribution if population changes indicate this is needed—that is, re-drawing the electoral boundaries. The last redistribution was held in 2007 for the 2008 elections. At that time, the suburb of Farrer moved out of Molonglo electorate into Brindabella electorate. 2. The aim of redistribution is to ensure that, as nearly as practicable, each electorate has representation in the Assembly in proportion to the electorate’s voting population, so that all electors in the ACT get fair representation.

When was it surveyed? Who were the surveyors and what problems did they meet as they mapped out the border? What were the ramifications of the border on the property owners who farmed the area? By following these self-guided tour routes and walking in the footsteps of the surveying teams the story of the surveying of the border and its consequences will unfold. ollowing Federation in 1901 a long and somewhat tortuous process commenced before the ‘Canberra- Yass’ region was selected for the new Federal Capital FTerritory. On 14 December, 1908, The Seat of Government Act became law specifying not only the Canberra-Yass region but an area of not less than 900 square miles for a federal territory. The Federal Capital Territory (from 1938 called the Australian Capital Territory) officially came into existence with the passing of two complementary Seat of Government Acts in 1909 (Surrender by NSW and Acceptance by the Commonwealth), vesting the land to the Commonwealth on 1 January 1911. The Commonwealth authorities wanted a clean and healthy water supply from a catchment area they could control for the new territory and capital city. Charles Scrivener had been crucial in choosing the Yass-Canberra region for the capital and was appointed the Director of the Lands and Survey Department. From his thorough knowledge of the area Scrivener, along with members of an advisory board, proposed that the border should follow the water-shed of the Cotter River and the Molonglo- Queanbeyan rivers.
