The ACT Government previously engaged Purdon & Associates to review the future use of these eight community sites and consult with the community. The purpose of the consultation process being undertaken by GHD is:

To inform the community about the Purdon & Associates Report recommendations and any relevant ACT Government decisions about the community sites;

To listen to the community's views on the recommended future land use options for each of the sites; and

To report back to Government on the community's views.
