Red Hill Nature Reserve: Community makes a stand against ‘inappropriate development’

2017-11-30

Caroline Le Couteur, MLA

The ACT Greens have tabled two petitions totalling some 3,112 signatures opposing inappropriate development in areas adjacent to the Red Hill Nature Reserve—the largest petition of this term of the Assembly.

Together the petitions respond to two proposed developments: a redevelopment proposal for a retirement village at the Federal Golf Course, and a rezoning at the telephone exchange at Section 66/Kent Street in Deakin. The sites are both on the south side of Red Hill and back on to the Red Hill Nature Reserve.
