Reason for this Petition

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly 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 Parliamentary Committee on Planning, Transport and City Services for a full public inquiry, including public hearings.
