Braddon Breakfast Forum
Thank you for attending the breakfast on Tuesday morning, I hope it will be the first of many. Summarised below are the issues that were raised at the forum along with a list of actions for Canberra CBD
Issues
• Parking
- Illegal parking in driveways along Mort & Lonsdale streets
- Lack of parking inspectors to police the illegal parking
- Need for a master plan regarding the future parking needs of Braddon ie: multi storey car park, car parking in new property developments, more short stay parking which may include angle parking in the middle of Lonsdale street
- ACTPLA view in the past has been to reduce the need for people to drive their cars to the City
• Security
- Cropping of trees to allow more visibility
- Increased lighting in a number of areas
• Cleaning
- Road sweeping required more often particularly in Autumn
- Graffiti on sub stations – need a mural
• Marketing
- Street markets at the weekends
- Street festivals with entertainment
• Residential developments
- Braddon development changes – request for more flexibility in minimum parking requirements for redevelopments of small blocks as basements reduce feasability
- Important that the QIC section 96 remain residential when developed
Action
Canberra CBD Limited to:
• pass on all concerns raised to both ACTPLA and TAMS and provide feedback to property owners in Braddon
• develop specific marketing plan for Braddon that can grow each year
• review the need for additional lighting in Braddon
• review cleaning in the area and potential new mural sites.
