From 2014 onwards, the proponent engaged with a range of stakeholders including Belconnen Community Council, Ginninderra Falls Association, Conservation Council (ACT Region), Strathnairn Arts Association, Ginninderra Catchment Group, Government Horse Paddocks Users Group, and Pace (Parkwood) Eggs.

During the public consultation period, the main issues raised in the public submissions included:

• Cross border jurisdictional arrangements;

• Concerns about traffic and transport in the vicinity of the development;

• The extension of Ginninderra Drive to service the development;

• Implications for the Bicentennial national Trail;

• Conservation river corridor / Ginninderra Falls;

• Potential odour from the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre;

• Potential odour from Pace Egg Farm on Parkwood Road;

• Asbestos disposal and land contamination; and

• Pressure and competition on Kippax Group Centre.

Given the extensive consultation, I believed that the matters raised during the consultation period had been adequately addressed.
