The Belconnen Community Council is a volunteer-led community organisation. Our role is to foster Belconnen's community identity and to be a strong voice for the community.

BCC public meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of each month from February to November, starting at 7pm in the Community Room, upstairs at the Belconnen Library on Chandler Street. Meetings are public, and anyone who lives, works, studies or owns property in Belconnen is invited to participate.

Today I announced RISE Canberra, an online events calendar to serve as the one stop shop for all Canberra events during this uncertain time.

The RISE Canberra Calendar will highlight events in our city that are going ahead, using non-traditional methods to avoid mass gatherings while fostering the jobs and economic stimulus our arts and events sector so desperately needs.

The ACT Government acknowledges the significant role events play in the lives of Canberrans and the contribution the sector and it’s people make to the economy.

And we understand the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our events industry and we recognise the need to support our events sector to diversify, innovate and show leadership as we work to recover from the negative economic effects of the pandemic.

RISE Canberra will also facilitate the creation of the Where You Are Festival, a $240,000 investment in our arts and events sector designed to promote jobs as we work to keep the sector going through the after effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canberra’s innovative creators and organisations will have the opportunity to apply for support through the Where You Are Festival through an open Expression of Interest (EOI) process.

The Where You Are Festival will launch on 10 July 2020 and be rolled out over the following two months.

Canberra has an enviable reputation for delivering a range of spectacular, fascinating and diverse events throughout the year, events which bring the community together while delivering significant economic and social benefits.

A range of events are already listed on the RISE Canberra Calendar, many of which will be already familiar to the community, such as Reconciliation Day, Floriade: Reimagined, and the Great Australian Craft Show.

New events include a Wine Tasting Party online with Contentious Character, French Movies with Alliance Francaise de Canberra, and Kids Creating Art for Aged Care Canberra.

This morning, Minister Chris Steel MLA announced more than 20 footpaths and missing links that will help connect Canberra even more.

It’s part of our fast-track program keeping Canberrans employed and building Canberra infrastructure during COVID-19.

In Yerrabi there are two projects that are getting underway:

- A new 280m long and 2.5m wide concrete footpath in the open space adjacent to Gungahlin Drive, along the floodway from the back of Dooland Court down to Lexcen Avenue in Nicholls.

- A new 40m long and 1.5m wide concrete path from Jabanungga Avenue towards the shopping centre car park, improving access into the Ngunnawal Shopping Centre.

The full list is available at www.act.gov.au/fasttrack ... See MoreSee Less

Burn right to cut down harmful smoke settling in our valley.

During winter, smoke from domestic wood heaters is the leading source of air pollution in Canberra.

Make sure you’re using your wood heater correctly by following these tips:

- Buy wood from a reputable firewood outlet and store it in a well-ventilated, covered space
- Only use dry, well-seasoned, untreated wood
- Always start your fire with the air control open and use plenty of kindling to make a hot fire quickly
- Place logs in the firebox with enough space between them to allow good air flow
- Use smaller logs when reloading and allow the fire to burn on high for 20–25 minutes
- Don’t overfill your heater
- Don’t let your fire smoulder overnight.
