The next public meeting of the Gungahlin Community Council (GCC) will be held on Wednesday 14 April 2021 at the Gungahlin Club, 51 Hinder St, Gungahlin at 6.30pm.

On 23 March the GCC wrote to the Minister for Planning, Mick Gentleman, inviting him to respond to three current issues:

  • Draft Variation 364
    The GCC asks that you ensure the recommendations of the Gungahlin Town Centre Planning Refresh are implemented as a matter of urgency, either by resolving the issues with DV364 or another mechanism.
  • The ACT Assembly Motion on Gungahlin Town Centre Development
    The GCC asks that you describe what the process and timeline will be for responding to the Development of the Gungahlin Town Centre Motion, with a specific focus on how it will engage with the community
  • Assessment of Community and Recreation Facilities in Gungahlin
    The GCC asks that you provide a clear statement of the objectives of the Assessment of Community and Recreation Facilities in Gungahlin, an overview of the activities EPSDD are undertaking to deliver the outcomes, how you are ensuring that you gather a complete set of requirements, and what processes/policies will be informed by this work.

The Minister himself is unable to attend the meeting and will be represented by the ACT Chief Planner and senior staff from the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD).

Background information on these issues can be found at the following links:

    Gungahlin Cinema Cancelled – Approach Hoyts, United in Financial Stress, Not interested in Building Cinema

    Good Morning GCC

    Please see below article – United Cinemas were never interested in building the Gungahlin Cinema and are just using COVID19 as an excuse to further delay the Project. They have done nothing on the Queanbeyan Cinema which was approved much long before Gungahlin and don’t have the capability to build anything.

    This is another Planning Failure of ACT Government to engage an unproven and unknown company instead of a brand name like Hoyts. Please approach Hoyts as their original Proposal (below) was better for the Community.
