Reason for this Petition

The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly that there has been limited investment in the Farrer, or adjacent suburbs, community facilities for a long time. Specifically, the community lacks facilities such as a playground, basketball court or skate park, amenities block, seating, barbecue facilities, fitness equipment, safe access to the shops for elderly or children and associated facilities such as lighting and paths.

Farrer is a strong, vibrant, diverse and engaged community and the development and implementation of a strategic plan for integrated, appropriate and environmentally sensitive community facilities, including those mentioned above, would build on the positive environment in Farrer in addition to serving the entire South Woden District.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to allocate resources to develop and implement a strategic plan for enhanced community facilities in Farrer, including facilities such as a playground, basketball court or skate park, amenities block, seating, barbecue facilities, fitness equipment, safe access to the shops for the elderly or children and associated facilities such as lighting and paths.
