The Department of Land and Property Services (LAPS) is seeking public comment on plans for an Aldi supermarket at Chisholm. The proposed site for the supermarket is a vacant block of land (Block 7 Section 598) between Benham and Proctor Streets behind the exisiting Chisholm shopping centre. (See map below).
The site is approximately 3,430 square metres, with access off Benham Street and is currently zoned Commercial CZ3 under the Territory Plan. The Territory Plan currently restricts the size of a supermarket on this CZ3 site to less than 300 square metres. A variation to the Territory Plan is required in order to allow for an increase of gross floor area permitted on the site to the 1200 square metres required for the proposed Aldi supermarket.
All comments received will be directed to the developer for consideration as part of any development application and will be subject to further community consultation as part of the approval process.
The proposal will also be considered at the first meeting of 2011 of the Tuggeranong Community Council on Tuesday 1 February 7:30pm upstairs at the Tuggeranong Southern Cross Club.
Should you wish to comment on either the direct sale or the proposed variation to the Territory Plan, please consider posting a comment here, or on LAPS’ website:

UPDATE: TCC encourage all residents concerned about aircraft noise sharing resulting from the development of South Tralee to attend Queanbeyan City Council’s extraordinary meeting – Wednesday 17 November 5:30pm at Council Chambers, 253 Crawford Street, Queanbeyan – more details: http://bit.ly/c33uAo
The Tuggeranong Community Council made a submission to the Queanbeyan City Council on their public exhibition of the draft local environment policy (South Tralee) 2010. The submission was made by the deadline of 4:30pm on 2 November 2010.
The reason for making a new submission is that the original process of approval was found to be invalid. Therefore, Queanbeyan City Council had to start the process again. However, they excluded all previous submissions (including objections) that had been made during the process in 2009.
You can view the submission made by the Planning and Environment sub-comittee below.

The Tuggeranong Community Council’s Planning and Development Sub-Committee is working on two very important submissions dealing with issues that will have a major impact on Valley residents. The first is a submission to the ACT Government on the Eastern Broadacre Study. The Study deals with the future development of the eastern ACT from Hume to Majura as an employment corridor. The plan also calls for the expansion of Hume as a heavy industrial area. This will have an impact on all Tuggeranong residents. The deadline for submissions is 17 November and the TCC encourages individuals to formally comment. The latest details can be found on our website at www.tuggcc.com
The other major planning issue facing Tuggeranong residents is that old perenial, Tralee. Queanbeyan City Council is again calling for submissions after re-advertising the proposal to build homes at Tralee. The TCC put forward a submission in January stating it objected to homes being built under the Canberra Airport’s high noise corridor because Tuggeranong residents feared it would lead to aircraft being re-routed over their homes. At our last meeting with the Chief Minister said he also indicated that aircraft flightpaths would be moved over Tuggeranong if Tralee went ahead. The TCC believes Tralee would better suited for industrial use and as an extension to the Hume Industrial Estate. Everyone is advised to make a representation to Queanbeyan City Council on Tralee because all previous submissions have been discarded now it is going through a whole new process of consideration. Visit “Latest News – Plans on Exhibition” at www.qcc.nsw.gov.au or visit our TCC website for more information.
