March 10th, 2010
No comments
Talking Tuggeranong is an issues document that was developed by the Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC) Executive in consultation with Council members, other Tuggeranong residents, community groups and organisations.
It details issues that concern Tuggeranong residents ranging from public transport, planning and development, environment and law and order.
The document was presented to the ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope MLA on 3 March 2010 for his consideration and attention.
The TCC wishes to thank those who contributed to Talking Tuggeranong. The Council hopes that it will assist and guide the ACT Government in the future development and decision making concerning Tuggeranong and its residents.
A message to members of Canberran’s for Powerstation Relocation from the President of the Tuggeranong Community Council
March 10th, 2010
No comments
Since taking on the role of President of the Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC) in November 2009, I have met with many members of community groups, organisations and individuals seeking to engage with the new TCC. During that time, I have met with members of Canberrans’ for Power Station Relocation Inc (CPR) Group. In my discussions with CPR, I have been disturbed to find that some CPR members feel aggrieved by certain verbal and written comments made by the past President of the TCC. As the new President of the TCC, and on behalf of the TCC, I confirm that I do not support those comments and apologise for any hurt or damage that such statements may have caused CPR and its members. In view of all the evidence I have reviewed, I recognise that CPR was not officially formed until 12 May 2008 and therefore CPR can not be blamed for any aggressive behaviour or disruption to any TCC or public meetings which may have occurred prior to that date. It follows that CPR can not be held accountable for an incident that allegedly took place at a meeting on 28 April 2008. I find no evidence that CPR have deliberately disrupted any TCC meetings. As the new President of the TCC I also disassociate myself from comments attributed to the past President and reported in the Southside Chronicle in early 2009. I understand that CPR had attempted on a number of occasions to seek a positive working relationship with the TCC and CPR has only worked to inform the Canberra community of issues of concern to all residents of Canberra. I sincerely wish that, by offering my apologies on behalf of the TCC, we can put these issues behind us. I trust that we can now look to the future and to working together for the overall benefit of our community.

A Message from the TCC President – February 2010
February 24th, 2010

The issue of random roadside drug testing in the ACT will be further considered at the next meeting of the Tuggeranong Community Council on Tuesday 2 March. While drink driving remains a major factor in road accidents in Australia, drug driving is also a cause for concern, particularly in the ACT. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Australia rates first place in the world for abuse of MDMA (Ecstasy) out of 99 countries, 2nd place for abuse of Amphetamines and 10th place for abuse of Cannabis. Meanwhile, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the ACT ranks number one in Australia for abuse of Ecstasy, 3rd for abuse of Amphetamines and 4th place for abuse of Cannabis. Not only are Council members concerned about drug abuse in the ACT, they are also concerned that people are driving on our roads while under the influence of these illegal drugs.
