Community meeting on Geocon Proposal – Giles Street – 15 July – register now

As you are aware Geocon has a proposal open for Pre-DA consultation for 84-86 Giles Street Kingston.

You can view and comment on the plans at https://www.purdon.com.au/home/consultation/blocks-13-and-22-section-22-kingston/

Pre-DA consultation has been extended until 17 July.

The KBRG will be hosting a community meeting on Wednesday 15 July from 6-7.30pm at the Canberra Baptist Church in Currie Cres Kingston.

The meeting will have guest speakers, including a planning expert, the National Trust, residents from Howitt and Giles streets and a local business representative. We have also invited Purdon/Geocon and ACT Government Planning to present. Kurrajong MLAs have also been invited to attend, however due to restricted numbers we have asked for only one representative per party at this stage.

Each speaker will have 5-10 minutes to present and this will be followed by a Q and A session for community members to ask questions.

If you would like to attend please see below:

  • numbers are limited to 40 people due to COVID restrictions – we will have a wait list if demand is high
  • to register please email kbrgrsvp@gmail.com with the following details
