Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to: a proponent led proposal by the Ainslie Football and Social Club for a Major Plan Amendment (DPA-2) to the Territory Development Plan 2024. 

If approved in its current form, this proposal would: 

• rezone land originally provided and zoned for sporting and recreational use to high-density residential and commercial use 

• set a precedent across the ACT allowing for the construction of high-density residential developments of up to 7 storeys (21.5 metres) and commercial development (no height limit) immediately adjacent to low-density residential development. 

Over 80 percent of the 146 submissions to the ACT Planning Authority on this proposal opposed the rezoning specifically for high-density and raised a broad range of concerns that have not yet been adequately considered.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to  refer the Ainslie Football and Social Club’s DPA-2 rezoning proposal, to the Standing Committee on Environment, Planning, Transport and City Services for a full public inquiry, including public hearings.
