The December GCC meeting was held on Wednesday 10 December at the Palmerston Community Centre.

Presenters included Mr. David Dawes from the Chief Minister's Dept who gave an update us on planned land releases around Gungahlin. A representative of ACTEW also outlined the strategy and current work being undertaken with regard to new potable water reserviors in the region.

The November GCC meeting was held on Wednesday 12 November. Special topics included the Cotter Dam expansion and the Horse Park Drv extension.

 

 

Although the Cotter Dam is not in the Gungahlin district, the dam and surrounding reserves are no doubt favourite recreational areas for many of our residents. Representatives of ACTEW presented information on the planned expansion of the dam and impacts on surrounding areas. Also the Canberra Times reported on this, saying that the expanded dam would - among other things - flood an additional 240 ha of land.

Representatives of Brown Consulting (ACT) P/L presented the preliminary design of the Horse Park Drive extension between Arrabri Street and Burrumarra Avenue, which will be constructed in 2009. This will take us one step closer to filling in all the missing links of this major local connector road.

 

 

 

Gungahlin residents, business operators, and all election candidates (where electronic contact details could be found) for the ACT electorates of Molonglo and Ginninderra were invited to the Gungahlin Community Council's...
Meet the Candidates night on Wednesday 8 October, held at the Palmerston Community Centre in Palmerston.

Just 10 days before the election day on 18 October, the event was one of the last opportunities for candidates to 'strut their stuff', and for Gungahlin people to put their concerns directly to the people whom were seeking their votes.

And so close to the election day, all candidates should have had their their policies well bedded down, so could have been able to give solid commitments on the issues that matter to Gungahlin.

The meeting was facilitated by Peter Martin, the former economics editor from the Canberra Times (now with The Age). Peter's solid reputation for pragmatic economics, and familiarity with ACT politics, ensured that candidates got fair and equal treatment, with no opportunity for spin, and the ability for the residents to get concerns answered.

The majority of the Gungahlin district is in the Molonglo electorate, but all of Nicholls is orphaned in Ginninderra.
