Coombs—community hall

Ms Berry (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Tuesday, 17 September 2019):

The 8,900m² site was released by way of a public auction in March 2015 and allows for all community uses under the Territory Plan with a specific requirement for the inclusion of a child care centre and a community activity centre.

The development now has an operating child care centre, gym, vet and a number of specialist medical practitioners. The lessee has advertised the dedicated community activity centre for lease but to date has been unsuccessful in securing a tenant.

The Suburban Land Agency recently facilitated a meeting between Woden Community Services and the lessee and discussions are ongoing. Currently however, there is no power under building and planning laws that can compel the lessee to lease the community activity centre.

The community site at block 10 section 63 Wright is currently out to tender with a requirement for the construction of a 130m² community hall to be made available to the general public at the community rental rate, for a set number of hours per week.
