Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the Australian Capital Territory draw to the attention of the Assembly that the density of housing for the Red Hill Public Housing site enabled by Variation 334 is unacceptable in a local centre, and the revised proposed height limits are unacceptable.

Your petitioners therefore call on the Assembly to request the Government to change the zoning to medium density (i.e. RZ3) and apply best practice principles in accordance with leading green building guidelines, and the standard provisions of relevant building codes. Limit the height to two storeys on all boundaries and three storeys at the centre of the site. Limit the number of dwellings on the site to 250. Reduce office space and substitute for example Retail, Medical, Cafe or Restaurant.
