Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

COSTCO FUEL KEEPS PRICES DOWN Costco Fuel Unleashed the Pumps at Majura Park in December
ISSUE NO.73 I MARCH 2015 ABOVE REACTION FROM COSTCO MEMBERS WHEN COSTCO FUEL OPENED IN DECEMBER. COSTCO FUEL KEEPS PRICES DOWN COSTCO FUEL UNLEASHED THE PUMPS AT MAJURA PARK IN DECEMBER. As fuel prices have been a highly contentious global issue over recent years, and there is a limited amount of private fuel stations in the Nation’s Capital, the dramatic price reduction that Costco offered its members last December was very well received. A price war ensued with Woolworths and other nearby petrol stations battling it out to share the demand in the Canberra Airport area. Costco members can now buy petrol, fresh food and groceries, and even televisions at a lower cost at Majura Park, Canberra Airport. With Ikea on the way, a Masters, the largest Woolworths in the country as well as numerous specialty stores, Majura Park is proving to be a key destination for people in Canberra and the region to stock up - all with free parking.

City and Gateway Urban Design Framework (27/4/2018)
ACT Division Planning Institute of Australia 11 National Circuit Barton ACT 2600 27 April 2018 City & Gateway Draft Urban Design Framework Environment, Planning & Sustainable Development Directorate PO Box 158 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Email: [email protected] Subject: PIA submission on the draft City and Gateway Urban Design Framework The Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) is the national association representing professional town planners throughout Australia and has a total membership of about 5,300, together with over 4,000 other planners who participate in PIA’s professional development program. The ACT Division of the Planning Institute of Australia, (PIA ACT) is led by a committee of members who voluntarily help advance the planning profession in the ACT. We commend the ACT Government for working jointly with the NCA to create an agreed urban design framework (the Framework) that sets the principles for development and growth in the city centre and along the gateway corridor of the Northbourne Avenue corridor and Federal Highway. PIA believes that there should be refinements and additions to the Framework outlined below and that in some areas it should be bolder in taking a ‘people first’ approach. Once refined we ask that the ACT Government look to act decisively to enact some of the these requirements into statutory controls given that the “horse has already bolted” with the development of light rail, public housing renewal and redevelopment of numerous sites along Northbourne Avenue outside any refreshed planning and design controls. We strongly encourage both the ACT Government and the NCA to consider implementing the Framework in a streamlined fashion as this will require changes to the planning provisions along the corridor. -
