Please be invited to a community discussion on local district Sporting Infrastructure Projects and the future uses of our dryland sporting field at Weston. The conversation will help shape the response provided by the Weston Creek Community Council to the ACT Government on the Sporting Infrastructure Survey. We've been asked to inform on the top 15 project requests within the region and this consultation piece is important to help us identify the needs and aspirations of our fantastic local sporting clubs and groups. Please come along if you can or email us your ideas at [email protected] if you can't make it. We'd love to see you there are everyone will have a chance to share their ideas. Get in touch if you need more information.

Ever wondered why fuel prices are so high here in Weston Creek? We certainly have and now might be a good time to get to the bottom of it. The ACT Government is having another inquiry, this time into fuel prices. You can go ahead and make a submission, simply asking why fuel prices in Weston Creek are often markedly higher than other districts and maybe ask how we can get some independent retailers out this way.

"Public pool sites are limited pieces of community land. They're chosen because they're accessible to residents and support recreation and sport."
100% agree.
Phillip Pool was sited alongside the Ice-Skating Rink to support a growing city 50 years ago. For generations, local residents of Woden, Inner South, Tuggeranong and Weston Creek (and all over Canberra) have enjoyed the facilities including ice hockey and skating as activities for our youth.
You could also apply that to Stirling Bowling Club, that the Labour club currently wants to close, despite it being a "limited piece of community land. They're chosen because they're accessible to residents and support recreation and sport." And you could also apply it to Big Splash.

Data centres are critical to Canberra’s economic future, but they need to be built in the right locations.

That’s why the Government has ruled out supporting the ACT Greens’ proposal to co-locate data centres with public swimming pools.

While waste heat recovery may offer energy-efficiency benefits, our public swimming pools exist to support recreation, not industrial infrastructure.

Canberra’s planning system already provides appropriate locations for data centres, including Industrial Zone 1 (General Industry), Industrial Zone 2 (Mixed Use Industry), and a range of commercial, transport and services zones where the necessary power, connectivity and utility infrastructure can be accommodated.

Areas such as Hume, Mitchell, Beard and Fyshwick have long been identified for this type of employment and industrial activity.

There are more appropriate opportunities in these industrial precincts for waste heat recovery, including supporting nearby manufacturing, warehousing, food production, logistics facilities and other energy-intensive businesses that can make direct use of recovered heat.

Good planning means supporting digital infrastructure growth in locations designed for it.
