Reason for this Petition

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that Wright has no existing or planned shops, town hall, school, church, child care centre, or any other such community facility for residents' use and that the ACT Government has planned to build public housing on Section 29, Block 1, the only block zoned for "community use" in Wright.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:

(1) Overturn the decision of the ACT Public Housing Taskforce to build public housing on Section 29, Block 1 in Wright; and that
(2) the ACT Government building a community facility of the kind mentioned above on Section 29, Block 1 in Wright which can be used by and of benefit to the entire community in Wright and Molonglo.
