(b) Southquay is one of the first catalyst projects to be delivered after the release of the Tuggeranong Town Centre Master Plan;
(c) this development will see up to 1,000 dwellings and more than 3,000 square metres of commercial space;
(d) sites that have frontage to Anketell Street will allow for development of 6 to 8 storeys, with allowance for three towers of a maximum of 12 storeys. Development will step down to 2 to 4 storeys at the Lake’s edge in order to maximise lake views and retain appropriate scale; and
(e) this development will revitalise the Tuggeranong Town Centre, create jobs in the construction sector and provide new opportunities for people to buy in the Tuggeranong Valley; and
(2) calls on the Government to:
(a) progress the Southquay development as a priority;
(b) continue to look at new opportunities for residential development in Tuggeranong;
(c) continue the implementation of the Tuggeranong Master Plan; and
(d) continue to work with stakeholders in Tuggeranong Town Centre as part of its urban renewal priorities.
I was very pleased to join Minister Barr and Wayne King from the Tuggeranong Community Council a couple of weeks ago on the shores of the southern end of Lake Tuggeranong for the announcement of this fantastic development, Southquay. I must say I had a bit of Tuggeranong pride there when I stood with the minister to talk about this fantastic development. The ACT government has identified potential land release sites in the Tuggeranong town centre for infill development, responding to key objectives to increase density in existing areas.
The Greenway lakeside development, Southquay, includes potential development on both the eastern and western sides of Lake Tuggeranong. This is an exciting project for Tuggeranong residents, with the promise of rejuvenating the town centre. The entire estate will consist of about 1,000 residential dwelling sites comprised of a mix of both medium and high-density development. Approximately 3,300 square metres of commercial gross floor area will also be available on the western side of the lake.
The Greenway lakeside master plan is based on a set of key planning principles that have guided the design development. They include elements such as design that focuses activity towards Lake Tuggeranong to encourage a lively waterfront for the town centre.
This development seeks to aid the revitalisation of the Tuggeranong town centre by providing new opportunities for people to live in the Tuggeranong valley. The development that is underway will also create jobs in the local construction sector.
