Rabbit Control Program

Leave a Comment / Community, Development /

We are running a rabbit program in Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura starting next week. This includes pindone baiting, fumigation and ripping. We were hoping that you might be able to help us to spread the word across your community network in Campbell, Reid, Ainslie, Hackett and Watson areas. We will have signs on entrances and have letterbox dropped residents backing onto the reserves with the attached letter.

Thank you.

Community Information Session

Leave a Comment / Community, Development /

 

Saturday, March 14th at 11 am in the park behind the Campbell shops

As part of the ACT Governments’ Adopt-a-Park program, the Campbell community has been fortunate to receive some funding to start making improvements in the park behind the Campbell shops!

Plans to enhance and improve the park have been drawn up by Barbara Payne of Quandong Designs and include proposals to:

  • enhance the park by planting an understory for the remnant Box-Gum trees in the park, with an emphasis on plants that attract birds, bees and butterflies,
  • create an enhanced natural setting for the community to enjoy and spend time in,
  • create an outdoor community meeting and performance space,
  • create a space for nature play where children can exercise and learn to recognise species and plants common to the ACT, and
  • create a community vegetable garden.

This grant of funding is the start of an exciting long-term community project which will be run by Campbell community volunteers in association with the ACT Transport and City Services and the Molonglo Catchment Group of Landcare.  Work on the park project is due to commence in April and May this year.

If would like to see the plans and get more information about the park project please join us for the information session in the park between 11 am and 12 pm on 14th March. 

If you can’t make it on the 14th but would like to join up to be a volunteer and be part of the project, please send an email to community.campbell at outlook.com.au., or via the contact form.

71 CONSTITUTION AVENUE – MEETING WITH HINDMARSH – 2 MARCH 2020

Leave a Comment / Community, Development /

Julie  Doyle and Sara Cronan met with Mia Dragila from Hindmarsh on 2 March to discuss the current status of the 71 Constitution Avenue project.   Greg Smith, who had been very helpful, has now left Hindmarsh and Mia has been involved in most of the previous meetings.

 

Several substantial changes are proposed for the development which will require NCA approval, further Consultation and a Works Approval Amendment as follows:

  • The townhouses on Getting Crescent will be replaced with 3 x 2 Bedroom and 9 x 3 Bedroom apartments in a 3 storey block which will be at the same RL as the top of the proposed townhouses.   
  • This will be achieved by lowering the ground floor some 450 mm as well as construction of an additional basement carpark
  • Permanent vehicular access from Getting Crescent will not be required and all parking access will be from Creswell Street
  • The ground floor units will have courtyards on the Getting Crescent frontage and balconies at the top level

Items from previous discussions:

  • Demolition now likely to take place from June 2020 onwards
  • 1.2m pedestrian footpath to be constructed on the Getting Crescent frontage prior to construction
  • Getting Crescent temporary construction fencing to be 2.1m Colorbond Windspray and 1.2m from the kerb 
  • A new Temporary Traffic Management Plan will be required – timing tba – it will be up to residents to liaise with TCCS when this occurs
  • Single storey site sheds on Getting Crescent frontage – tba.   The new configuration means that it is likely that more sheds can be contained on site during construction 
  • 600 tonne crane to be erected in the middle of the site – no overflying
  • We had previously requested the following which had been agreed to:
  • “Having regard to the residential nature and parking limitations on Getting Crescent as well as public risk and safety it is requested that Hindmarsh undertake a letterbox drop to residents mainly in Getting Crescent before undertaking any of the following:
      • Commencement of demolition estimated June 2020 for 5 months
      • Removal of all trees and landscaping on the Getting Crescent frontage between The Creswell, past the HIA up to the 14 Getting Crescent boundary
      • Construction of the 1.2m footpath on Getting Crescent nature strip from Creswell Street western boundary of 14 Getting Crescent
      • Creation of the rear vehicular access to the HIA which may be required for 4 months during excavation of the site
      • Timings of use of the temporary vehicular access off Getting Crescent to 71 via closed gates.”

AWM Temporary Carpark Update

Leave a Comment / Development /

An arborist’s report was commissioned by the AWM and has identified 43 trees within the construction zone that will need to be removed and a further 37 trees that may be affected depending on the construction methodology proposed by the successful tenderer for these works. We would not expect all 37 of these trees to be affected but rather a smaller subset of them depending on the approach taken.

The 37 trees that may be “affected” means they may require protection such as fencing or other intervention to preserve them and in fact, it is possible that none of these trees will need to be removed.

​A copy of the site study by the arborist is attached for information, the light blue line represents the construction site of the new car park, the darker blue line the area assessed by the arborist as possibly affected by the construction through vibration, vehicle traffic, changes to drainage etc. Note that the size of the car park was reduced by the Memorial after we received this arborist report to ensure the remnant tree (one of the 37 possibly affected trees) to the east of the works would not need to be removed; the trees will be carefully protected and monitored during construction.

People are welcome to contact the AWM at development@awm.gov.au with questions or for further information.
