Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly that immediate action needs to be taken to protect the Dickson shopping centre and Dickson library, together with associated health/postal/banking and other services, and halt all planned development activity in the shopping centre's main carpark (block 21 section 30) and the heritage buffer next to it that surrounds block 13—the library.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly and members of the ACT Public Service's Environment and Planning Directorate and Economic Development Directorate do not approve any new major site works or the sale of further public land until a full and independent impact assessment has been completed and made publicly available.
