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.

Media release from the Belconnen Arts Centre on the appointment of Monika McInerney and Jack Lloyd as Co-CEOs👍

"Co-CEOs take the helm at Belconnen Arts Centre"

Belconnen Arts Centre Chair Phil Nizette has announced that two of its staff, Monika McInerney and Jack Lloyd, have been appointed Co-CEOs to lead the organisation, as construction on Belconnen’s new 400-seat Studio Theatre commences before Christmas.

“The Board is very pleased to announce that Monika McInerney and Jack Lloyd are our new Co-CEOs, and look forward to working with them to continue Belconnen Arts Centre’s leading edge Community Arts and Cultural Development work with the community. Their capacity, skills and leadership are outstanding and will be fully utilised as BAC expands our premises and programs in the coming years.”

Artistic Director Monika McInerney’s extensive experience has involved participation in the community arts and cultural development, creative industry and local government sectors across SA, NT, NSW and in the UK. Monika enjoys collaborating with the BAC team in partnership with the community, practitioners and the arts sector to generate new work and experiences for creative engagement to tell the stories found in the rich tapestry of community life.

“I feel very honoured to be taking the helm with Jack and to be working with such a dedicated Board and team of staff as we progress towards the completion of the Centre. We are looking forward to working with the region’s creatives and community in the generation and presentation of new work here in the centre and broader region. The full realisation and completion of BAC will become an extraordinary tool kit for the region’s cultural ecology and I look forward to fueling a love of and engagement in the arts.’

Executive Director Jack Lloyd has been part of the BAC team since it opened in 2009. He brings financial, operational, leadership and strategic planning skills, as well as a strong connection to the theatre sector in the ACT as a performer, writer and producer.

“2019 will be a turning point for Belco Arts, we will grow our staff team and the way we work, to deliver a new live performance program and a re-imagined suite of exhibitions, activations, and public engagements. All the while, we’ll be working with the ACT Government and PBS Building as Stage 2 takes shape all around us. I’m so proud of everything the team here has achieved and it is an immense honour and privilege to stand beside Monika in leading such a phenomenal organisation.” ... See MoreSee Less

Eventually 50,000 people will live in the Ginninderry suburbs, but they won't have a shopping centre until 2026 🤔
Maybe if they could build it sooner, the ovals behind Kippax Fair wouldn't have to be built over and made into a shopping centre 🤷 ... See MoreSee Less

Look out for the little ones 👍‼️WARNING: BELCONNEN TOWN CENTRE...

There are two masked lapwing (plover) chicks with their parents who were born 5 days ago on the Luxton St & Josephson St roundabout in Belconnen.

Cars need to SLOW DOWN!!

The birds have decided this roundabout is their home and under wildlife advice it is not possible to move them.

Please note they are a PROTECTED NATIVE species under the Nature Conservation Act and there are harsh penalties for deliberately running over the chicks!

As a strategy to protect the chicks born here, we are asking our local government about the possibility of a small fence / barrier to go around the roundabout or another effective option to keep them safe until they’re old enough to fly off.
