Planning—Molonglo Valley
MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (3.18): I move:
That this Assembly:
(1) notes:
(a) the Molonglo Valley is currently experiencing significant residential growth, with a forecast population of nearly 35,000 by the end of this decade;
(b) to date, the delivery of critical community facilities, shops and services in the Molonglo Valley have been plagued by significant delays, forcing residents to rely on neighbouring facilities in Weston Creek, which are already under significant pressure;
(c) at the previous election, ACT Labor promised to “fast track” the delivery of the Molonglo Valley commercial centre, which will contain sorely needed facilities such as:
(i) a police station;
(ii) a year 11-12 college;
(iii) a library;
(iv) a community precinct;
(v) emergency services;
(vi) health facilities; and
(vii) supermarkets, retail and commercial space;
(d) to deliver on this promise, the ACT Government will need to release the first major piece of commercial land before 30 June 2022, as outlined in the Indicative Land Release Program 2019-20 to 2022-23 and reiterated by Minister Gentlemen in a letter sent to the Molonglo Valley Community Forum in April this year;
