7.1: Municipal Functions
Renewed focus on municipal functions. Other Information:
The ACT Government will concentrate on improving municipal services with additional resources from the Strategic Infrastructure
Investment Program. The focus will be on improving facilities and maintenance of roads and supporting infrastructure around
Civic and town centres, and on long-term planning and provisioning for maintenance. Funding has been provided for additional
cleaning and sweeping of shopping centres, playgrounds, public toilets, bus shelters, underpasses and car parks; for increasing
mowing, shrub maintenance, planting and weed control; and for major pavement improvements. In addition, recognising the iconic
and core status of Civic as a place of social engagement, entertainment, employment and transport exchange, a Place Manager
will be engaged to oversee the maintenance of the Civic Centre and contribute to the design of its future development. The
ACT Government is working in partnership with Canberra CBD Ltd to improve the promotion and general levels of maintenance
in the city centre. Working together, the government and Canberra CBD Ltd will improve maintenance in both the public and
private realms in the city.
