Kippax Fair propose turning a community oval into a shopping centre, instead of using one of the government owned carparks
The Kippax Group Centre Master Plan Community Panel Outcomes Report and the final stage of community engagement on revisions to the draft master plan were released on Saturday 23 December 2017.
This period of engagement will run until Friday 16 March 2018. This particular engagement will be longer as it runs over the school holidays which we are unable to count as part of the engagement period.

The BCC have prepared this presentation on the negative impacts of surrendering an oval to become a shopping centre, when better options exist.
The community oval is much loved and highly valued. The government owned carparks and old buildings in Kippax could be used to provide more retail space, or the owners of Kippax Fair could redevelop their building. Turning an oval into a shopping centre is not the best option.
We encourage all Belconnen residents to express their opinion on this master plan at the link above.
