The ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA) are progressing well with a planning and design study for the Tuggeranong and Erindale centres and their connecting transport corridor (Erindale Drive).

We hosted a special public meeting this week and thank the presenters and more than 60 members of the community who came along to hear from ACTPLA, LDA (Land Development Agency) and TAMS (Territory and Municipal Services) with representatives of the organisations facilitating the community consultation.

Below is a copy of a letter from TCC Vice President, Colin Petrie, to the Editor of the Canberra Times following an article that appeared on page 2 of the Canberra Times on Monday 16 August 2010. The article alleged that TCC members were rude, intimidating and had bullied ACTPLA staff at a recent public meeting. The TCC has sent the letter to the Editor of the Canberra Times on 16 August and again on 19 August. To date the TCC’s response has not appeared.

ACTPLA (ACT Planning and Land Authority) presented last Thursday 12 August, on the Eastern Broadacre Planning Project.
More details are available from ACTPLA’s website: ACTPLA’s webpage on the Eastern Broadacre Planning Project

The Eastern Broadacre Study covers the future development of the eastern half of the ACT from Hume in the south to Majura in the north inlcuding Symonston and the Jerrabomberra Valley. This large area has been identified as a future employment corridor with the development of light industrial, commercial, tourist and transport related activities.

The TCC believes the Eastern Broadacre Study has major implications for the Tuggeranong Valley.
