Dr Enrico Taglietti—tribute
Yerrabi electorate
MS ORR (Yerrabi) (6.29): This evening I offer my condolences to the family of Enrico Taglietti. Enrico was a talented and experienced architect when he came to Canberra to design the Italian Embassy. He fell in love with our city and went on to design several iconic buildings, including Giralang Primary School. I had the pleasure of meeting Enrico at the Giralang Primary School’s 40th birthday. When I was introduced to Enrico it was noted that I was an urban planner. Enrico took a deep breath and then in a spirited way leaned over and said to me, “I can teach you a thing or two about planning in this city”. Of course, I sat there and eagerly listened to every word he had to say.
I also take the opportunity this evening to update the Assembly on some of the things that have been happening in Yerrabi since our last sitting. I have been in contact with the developer of the Giralang shops to receive an update on where things are up to. The developer has provided me with the following update:
Whilst construction may not have physically started on site there has been a considerable amount of work on the negotiations with commercial tenants, residential sales and building approval for the project.
