This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that Farrer is a strong, vibrant, diverse and engaged community eager to develop community assets for the well-being of the residents of Farrer and the Woden Valley.
We wish to build on the benefits of the nature play and bike track which have proven popular for the Farrer and Woden Valley residents. Community members are active in the enhancement and maintenance of the park but acknowledge the limitation of use dependant on the availability of a public toilet including associated security infrastructure that will deter undesirable behaviour. This particularly affects the younger and older residents of Farrer and their ongoing engagement with the space. The nearest facility is at the Southlands Shopping Centre approximately 2km away. There is a decommissioned toilet facility at the car park opposite the Farrer Scout Hall.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly allocate resources to continue to develop community facilities in Farrer by opening and maintaining a public toilet with associated security infrastructure at the Farrer Nature Play and Bike Track.
