(2) THE EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE OF THE GUNGAHLIN TOWN CENTRE IS LIKELY TO RESEMBLE THAT EXISTING AT WODEN AND BELCONNEN TOWN CENTRES, WHERE OVER HALF THE TOWN CENTRE EMPLOYMENT IS OFFICE-BASED.
(3) IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 22 PER CENT OF THE WORKFORCE IN GUNGAHLIN AND RELATED EMPLOYMENT AREAS WILL LIVE IN GUNGAHLIN.
THIS FIGURE IS BASED ON A TOTAL POPULATION OF 85,000 PEOPLE AND A MEDIUM-SIZED TOWN CENTRE OF ABOUT 8,000 EMPLOYEES.
(4) THE STAGED PROVISION OF OFFICE ACCOMMODATION IS BASED NOT ONLY ON THE GROWTH OF THE WORKFORCE, BUT ALSO ON THE ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE OFFICE SPACE NEEDS, AND ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE EXISTING OFFICE ACCOMMODATION.
STAGING OF THE PROVISION OF OFFICE ACCOMMODATION IN THE LONG TERM DEPENDS ON THE TIMING OF PRIVATE INVESTMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS, BOTH OF WHICH DEPEND ON THE DECISIONS OF INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE OCCUPATIONS OF OFFICE SPACE.
(5) UNDER EXISTING PLANS, INTENDED TOTAL EMPLOYMENT IN BELCONNEN TOWN CENTRE BY 2003 IS BETWEEN 13,000 AND
15,000, WITH OFFICE EMPLOYMENT BETWEEN 7,000 AND 8,000. IN TUGGERANONG TOWN CENTRE BY 2003, INTENDED TOTAL EMPLOYMENT IS BETWEEN 12,000 AND 17,000 WITH OFFICE EMPLOYMENT BEING BETWEEN 6,000 AND 7,000.
THESE FIGURES ARE BASED ON WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE METROPOLITAN POLICY PLAN AND THE PROPOSED NATIONAL CAPITAL PLAN.
IF THE NATURE OF DEVELOPMENT IN GUNGAHLIN CHANGES, MY GOVERNMENT WILL RESERVE ITS RIGHT TO PROPOSE A DIFFERENT TOWN CENTRE REGIME.
