Reason for this Petition
This petition of residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that the Coombs Peninsula is an important public asset, shared by all the residents of Coombs, as well as the home to wildlife such as the pink-tailed worm lizard and platypuses.
Despite the importance of it to the community and the understanding that it would not be developed, the ACT Government now plans to allow approximately 30 dwellings to be built on the Coombs Peninsula.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly protect the Coombs Peninsula from multi-dwelling development.
