What an incredible shot of Belconnen!

At this angle, it almost looks like there's a funny kind of spaceship about to take off from the town centre.

Have you been taking any evening walks around the city lately?

The requirements under the Public Health Directions are not just the responsibility of businesses - they extend to all Canberrans.

We must all be sensible when having people in our homes and put in place our own control measures. This includes knowing who is there and at what times, and downloading the COVIDSafe app.

Importantly, we must maintain our best lines of defence against the disease by physically distancing, practising good hand and respiratory hygiene, staying home if unwell and getting tested if you have symptoms.

These principles have not changed and are the best way to keep our community safe and to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

We all have a part to play. Canberra is stronger when we work together—don’t set us back. ... See MoreSee Less
