5.7: Town Centres

Revitalising town centres.

Other Information:

The ACT Government has identified the strategic directions for improving the vitality and viability of city and town centres. It has undertaken several measures to improve access and amenity, including integration of the bus services at Woden and Belconnen with the radial hubs, the refurbishment of Childers Street, and the adoption of a design manual that will unify the character and quality of the public spaces in the city centre. As we move toward celebrating the centenary of Canberra, the emphasis will be on building community spirit and diversity across the ACT. We will continue to improve the quality and amenity of our public spaces and ensure that they are safe and accessible. We aim to reinvent the town, group and local centres, so they are not just marketplaces but places for community and social exchange.
