Planning for Canberra Growth – Public Forum 23 March – ALbert Hall

CANBERRA IS GROWING, BUT HOW SHOULD WE ACCOMMODATE THIS GROWTH?

On Monday 23 March 2020 at the Albert Hall, 100 Commonwealth Ave Yarralumla from 6.00pm to 8.00pm for a public forum on the implications of Canberra’s planning decisions for the bush capital, has been organised by the Canberra Planning Action Group (CPAG) and the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis (IGPA).

The aim is vital to revive debate and discussion about what Canberra was supposed to be, what it has become, and where it should be heading. In the lead-up to the 2020 election, the Chief Minister’s claims for Canberra cannot remain untested.

CPAG was formed in early 2019 in response to discontent by community groups and many individuals. with the ACT Government on planning matters, including urban densification, transport, affordable housing, green infrastructure, approvals processes – the list goes on and on. This discontent is not new but it is widespread and growing, as the very things that make Canberra a uniquely liveable city are being destroyed at an alarming rate.

CPAG seeks a Canberra-wide perspective and a more united voice by all who want to see a more considered, people and nature-friendly approach to a growing Canberra.

CPAG is also receiving donations to defraying the expenses incurred in staging this forum.
