Belconnen Community Council

Construction to improve the public spaces surrounding the Charnwood (Garrad Court) Shopping Centre has begun and is planned for completion by June 2015. The upgrade is designed to revitalise the public spaces around the Charnwood shops and to make the area more accessible, safer and appealing for leaseholders, traders and patrons.

Late last year, the Belconnen Community Council participated in an event during Design Canberra which attempted to map Canberra's innovation ecosystem. Participants were able to show what areas of civic and other life they are involved in and how they contribute to enriching society.

On Thursday, 4 December, representatives from the Environment and Planning Directorate held a design workshop on the update to the Belconnen Town Centre Master Plan at the Belconnen Arts Centre. Around 40 people attended the session representing residents, businesses (and those who worked in the Town Centre), students and organisations.

On 15 January 2015, WIN News covered the proposed move of the Department of Immigration from Belconnen.

The ACT Government has provided the following infographics to assist the community:

As part of our goal to engage even more with the community this year, the BCC has undertaken some rebranding.

Late last year, we engaged Wellspring Arts and Design who designed our original logo, Living Belconnen.

The ACT Government is still seeking ideas to include in its update to the Belconnen Town Centre Master Plan. Make sure you have your say by Friday, 30 January.
