The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly that there are gaps in the provision of social infrastructure in the Woden Town Centre, including a 50m pool and associated green spaces. Local recreation facilities are needed to connect people and facilitate the community’s physical and mental health.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to:
• retain and upgrade the existing Phillip Swimming & Ice Skating Centre until a new ice rink is built and a 50m pool and associated aquatic and green spaces are available in the Woden Town Centre; and
• commission an independent review and community consultation into the high-density development in the Woden Town Centre, to ensure it is environmentally and socially sustainable, and climate adaptive.
