New Supermarket Plan Raises Concerns the Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC) Has Raised Concern Over Plans for a New Supermarket at Chisholm Tuggeranong Community Council Newsletter Issue 1: February 2011 New supermarket plan raises concerns The Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC) has raised concern over plans for a new supermarket at Chisholm. Aldi proposes to build a new store on land behind the existing Chisholm shop- ping centre. The proposed development is part of the ACT Government‟s push for more players in Canberra‟s food retail market. The plans were discussed at the TCC‟s February meeting which was ad- dressed by representatives of the ACT Government‟s Land and Property Ser- vices (LAPS). TCC members said while they welcomed competition in the food retail market they had a number of concerns relating to traffic and questions about the sale and use of the land. Members questioned if a supermarket was the best use of the Chisholm site. If it was sold would the community get the best price for it?, what other supermarket chains had been given an opportunity to bid for the site? The public is invited to comment on plans for an Aldi supermarket at Chisholm and what else had been considered for the site? They are also concerned about competi- CONTENTS PAGE tion for parking between shoppers and “They are also concerned commuters,” Mr Johnston said.

The Combined Councils call upon the ACT Legislative Assembly to conduct an independent and thorough review of the ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA), Land Development Agency (LDA) and other relevant agencies with a view to the ACT Government establish- ing an independent integrated and stra- tegic planning and development system that contributes to the orderly and sus- tainable development in the ACT with consideration to bordering regions, and consistent with the social, environmental and economic aspirations of the people of the ACT, a key objective in the ACT Planning and Development Act (2007).

Meanwhile, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth are considering intro- ducing their own light rail systems while Sydney is extending its network.

  • The ACT Election 2016: Back to the Future?
    The ACT election 2016: back to the future? Terry Giesecke 17 February 2017 DOI: 10.4225/50/58a623512b6e6 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this paper are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the view of APO. Copyright/Creative commons license: Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 3.0 (CC BY-NC 3.0 AU) 12 pages Overview This resource is a summary of the outcome of the ACT election, held in October 2016. It was an unusual election, in that it saw little movement in party support from the previous election in 2012 and no fringe parties or candidates were elected. The main issues were the construction of a tramline, the implementation of tax reform, the demolition of over one thousand houses to resolve asbestos contamination and allegations of corruption. The ACT Election 2016: Back to the future? The ACT election on October 15 was more of a 1950s or 1960s election. In that era little movement occurred from one election to the next. In 1967 political scientist Don Aitkin wrote, “Most Australians have a basic commitment to one or other of the major parties, and very few change their mind from one election to the other”1. Not so today. In the last few years Australia has experienced three one term State/Territory Governments, huge swings from election to election and the rapid rise and fall of new parties. So why was the ACT different? The ACT election saw a swing of 0.5 per cent against the governing ALP and their partner the Greens and a 2.2 per cent swing against the opposition Liberals.

  • Stromlo Horse Riders Group
    STROMLO HORSE RIDERS GROUP FINAL DRAFT VARIATION TO THE TERRITORY PLAN # 281 MOLONGLO AND NORTH WESTON SUBMISSION from STROMLO HORSE RIDERS GROUP What is the Stromlo Horse Riders Group? The Stromlo Horse Riders Group (SHRG) was formed at a public meeting on Monday 23 January 2006 at the National Equestrian Centre at the National Equestrian Centre, Kerribee, on the Cotter Road. The purpose of the Group is to act as a focus for consultation with the ACT government in regard to access to Stromlo Forest Park for all horse riders who wish to use the Forest. The SHRG was formed because it had become clear that planning for the redevelopment of Stromlo Forest did not include any consideration of the needs of one group of its traditional users. SHRG is a loose association of about 120 recreational equestrians who use the Canberra open space system to ride their horses. It is a lobby group rather than a sporting body. SHRG’s negotiations with the government in regard to Stromlo Forest Park have been sufficiently successful for the Chief Minister to formally open a site of the designated equestrian trails at Stromlo and spend $500, 000 in the Park on equestrian infrastucture. Equestrian Use of the Molonglo Area Equestrians have ridden their horses to the Equestrian Park at Curtin for Pony Club and through the Stromlo Forest for recreation and exercise since the commercial pine forest was opened to the public for recreational purposes in 1967. The government paddocks in the Weston Creek area (Yarralumla, Curtin and Illoura) have allowed local horse riders access since thy were established in the 1960s In the 1970s, as equestrian activities continued to grow in popularity, Forest Park Riding School at Curtin and Bibaringa Riding School (now Mt Stromlo Equestrian Centre), closer to Mount Stromlo, opened.
