City Services is only able to do public space upgrades like this on area owned and managed by the ACT Government. While the Richardson shops and the adjoining carpark (Block 4, Section 454) are privately owned, TCCS owns, manages and maintains adjoining Block 12, zoned PRZ1 – Urban Open Space (and in use as a playground), and also Blocks 15, 16 and 17 which are zoned CZ4 Local Centre, but used as unleased open space.
Value of local centres
The ACT Government recognises the important social and economic role played by local centres in our community. The Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) is currently undertaking the ACT Planning System Review and Reform project, this includes the preparation of district strategies covering the nine urban districts of the ACT. District strategies are a new level in the planning system that provide greater spatial and policy direction at a district scale.
The draft Tuggeranong District Strategy identifies the Richardson local centre as one of a number of ‘possible’ centres for investigation of appropriate planning and non-planning initiatives to support its viability and role as a community meeting place. Further work will need to be undertaken to confirm the Richardson local centre as a candidate for this investigation, including demographic and economic analysis.
The draft Territory Plan and district strategies, including the Tuggeranong District Strategy, are now out for community consultation and residents can provide input through the yoursay website at: ACT Planning System Review and Reform Project | YourSay ACT.
