Please provide any feedback through hello@belcouncil.org.au and we will pass it on to the proponents.
Thank you to everyone who participated last night and apologies for the sound quality if you were participating online; we will try to iron the bugs out for the next meeting.
This month’s meeting will focus on changes to the design plan for the Centre’s expansion by the Owners of Kippax Fair in response to feedback gathered over the last 17 months. With work being undertaken by the ACT Government to investigate issues raised during the DV 361 process for the Kippax Group Centre, we thought it timely to bring everyone together to talk through those changes.
We have extended an invitation to the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) to attend and address community concerns and questions surrounding the issues they raised to local residents in a flyer distributed over the long weekend. We have also provided our Ginninderra MLAs and opportunity to attend and participate consistent with our standing invitation to all our meetings.
Please note: Numbers are strictly limited to 80 at the venue. Please email hello@belcouncil.org.au if you would like to attend in person. The first 73 people will be confirmed by return email by no later than midday 16 March. Our online Zoom platform will be operating for those who would like to participate from home.

Late last year your BCC Committee were approached by Melba resident Tim Korsopp seeking assistance to form a proposal for an inclusive playground for the suburb.
Over the last few months, Tim and fellow Melba resident Hector Contreras have developed a high level document outlining the proposal and presented it at our February Committee meeting. They have also created a Facebook page S.M.I.L.E so residents can get information and exchange ideas on the proposal.
Your BCC Committee endorsed the proposal and will be partnering with Tim, Hector and other residents to put the proposal to our local Ginninderra MLAs for support. Eventually, we would like to see the proposal picked up by the ACT Government as part of the next budget allocation for feasability studies and implementation funding.
There will be more information published shortly, but please visit the S.M.I.L.E page or get in touch with us if you want more information.
We are back and raring to go in 2021!
There’s plenty to talk about with an ACT Budget handed down, what that means for Belconnen and what we can expect in the year ahead.
There’s a new Canberra Hospital Master Plan and Land Releases in the Belconnen Town Centre, plus updates on the Kippax Group Centre and Lawson Stage 2 delays.

It seems 2020 has snared another victim with tonight’s proposed BCC General meeting abandoned due to bad light (we couldn’t see a light at the end of this long tunnel!).
We will post a 2020 Year in Review, outline our Budget Submission for comment and invite everyone to comment on the Belconnen Place Plan ready for a big and vibrant 2021.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported the BCC Committee, our community and those on the frontline battling bushfires and smoke, hail and of course COVID-19 throughout 2020. We look forward to welcoming a few of you back in face at our February 2021 meeting (7pm Tuesday 16 February at a venue to be confirmed) and those who will be with us online.
On behalf of your BCC Committee (Clayton Brown, Maree Pavloudis, Charles Thomas, Mary van der Graaf and Matt Watts) we wish you a safe and prosperous holiday season and thank you for your ongoing support in 2021.
Glen Hyde, Chair Belconnen Community Council
