(15) On 17 June 2021, the Suburban Land Agency (SLA) released Belconnen Lakeshore by way of Request for Proposal (RFP). Belconnen Lakeshore is made up of four sites at the northern end of the Belconnen Town Centre. The sites include the Circus Sites Precinct (Blocks 38 and 39/Section 52 and Block 2 Section 151) and the Former Belconnen Water Police site adjacent Emu Inlet (Block 29, Section 149).

a) The Place Design Brief is the outcome of an independently facilitated place-led community engagement process undertaken between December 2020 and April 2021 by the SLA with the Belconnen community.

As part of the consultation process, the SLA engaged MurriMatters to engage specifically with Ngunnawal stakeholders including Representative Aboriginal Organisations and members of the Dhawura Ngunnawal Caring for Country Committee. A Statement of Cultural Significance and input into the Place Design Brief were outcomes of the cultural engagement and highlighted the special relationship and connection to country that the Ngunnawal people have with the area.

Design proposals expected as part of the RFP submissions by developers and their design teams will be evaluated on their response to the Place Design Brief.

The evaluation criteria for the assessment of RFP submissions places a significant 50 percent weighting on the design response, in addition to the financial offer for the land weighted at 30 percent. Proponents’ response to the community brief will reveal the extent of proposed public art.

Tenderers will also be required to demonstrate how they will undertake place-led community and stakeholder engagement as part of the design and development of the land. The Suburban Land Agency will expect Ngunnawal representatives to be included as stakeholders as part of any agreed engagement plan.

b) The SLA recognises the special relationship and connection to country that the Ngunnawal people have with the Canberra area and is committed to working closely with Traditional Owners to tell their stories wherever and however possible, including through public art on new urban and greenfield developments.
