Belconnen Community Council July 18 public meeting

The BCC Public Meeting for July 2017 is on this Tuesday July 18 at 7.00PM at the Community Room above the Belconnen Library, Chandler St, Belconnen Town Centre.

The meeting will commence at 7PM

After welcoming members and guests, the Chair will present a short report on the previous months activities of the BCC.

Following this, there will be two presentations:

– Suzzane Orr MLA for Yerrabi will speak about Belconnen issues in the Yerrabi electorate (Kaleen, Giralang, Lawson, Mackellar and Evatt).

– Mr. Brett Phillips – Executive Director of Planning Delivery EPSD, will discuss the draft pre-DA Community Consultation Guidelines released by Chief ACT Planner Ben Ponton earlier this month.

The ACT Government is committed to improving the way government engages with the community on planning issues in the ACT. For planning to be successful in the future requires an ongoing partnership between government, industry and the community. The pre-DA guidelines are the first step in bringing together these groups to achieve better outcomes in the planning sector.

More information on the pre-DA Consultation process can be found at the ACT Governments Your Say website here.

Feedback on the draft pre-DA guidelines closes in Mid August.

All members of the public are welcome!
