Canberrans are invited to have their say on upgrades to Tuggeranong foreshore and a new recreation park in Casey.
“Work is continuing on Canberra’s biggest suburban infrastructure program with consultation now underway for upgrades to the Tuggeranong foreshore and a new recreation park in Casey,” said Minister for Transport and City Services Chris Steel.
“We promised new and upgraded local infrastructure to support jobs, local businesses and communities. Now it’s time for Canberrans to tell us what their priorities are for investment in two recreational parks to inform the designs.”
“We’ve already kicked off consultation on better local shopping centres and the design and location of four upgraded playgrounds. Together with these projects in Casey and Tuggeranong that means the community can soon look forward to better local facilities North and South,” said Minister Steel.
Tuggeranong foreshore upgrades
We’re asking for feedback from Southsiders on upgrades right around Lake Tuggeranong to make it a better place to visit for recreation. This could include more trees, bins and seating, or upgrades to landscaping, paths, playgrounds and skate park, parking, shelter, toilets and outdoor dining amenities and other community priorities.
Lake Tuggeranong users are invited to drop a pin on a map of the Lake and tell us where they would like to see specific improvements to facilities and other infrastructure.
The Tuggeranong Foreshore project builds on the upgrades the ACT Government has recently completed in Anketell Street, Tuggeranong Town Square and the Laneways to the Lake.
New Casey recreational park
A new community recreation park will be an important high-quality addition to the recreation facilities currently available in Casey and the Gungahlin region.
Following an initial consultation, a draft concept plan has been released for feedback, with proposed improvements to the park include a basketball court, bike track, grassed amphitheatre, toilets, barbeques, irrigated green space, a community garden space, and a pedestrian crossing linking to the existing playground and car parking.
Gungahlin residents are encouraged to have a say on their priorities for these works and other improvements to this new community space.
