The Liberals have announced they'll fund a GP clinic for Gungahlin. But they haven't clarified how this fits in with the existing (and funded) proposal from the government to build a community health clinic to the tune of around $18 million. We have raised this concern with the Liberals but are still waiting for clarification.

The Health Minister Katy Gallagherhas in the meantime advised us that the land identified for the clinic is the block immediately behind the Aldi shopping centre. This is a good outcome, and equivalent in size to the parcel we had in mind behind Big W. It will also help the retailers along this back street with additional passing traffic and people.

UPDATE: GCC President Alan Kerlin bailed up Zed Seselja on 666 live radio about our concerns and the lack of a reply from him. We gained a commitment from Zed that their proposal was on top of rather than instead of the previous proposal.
