The ACT Government has announced an investment of $65.1 million in the budget to strengthen frontline city services, improve local amenities and support the ongoing care of the city’s public and green spaces.

Part of the funding will support four new local shopping centre upgrades at Kingston, Chisholm, Cooleman Court and Kippax to improve public spaces at the shops with new seating, lighting, crossings, paving and landscaping, and other improvements.

Further investments will support effective and responsive city services like mowing and street sweeping and new murals on major road corridors.

Dedicated funding will also go towards building a new active travel path between Hall and Gold Creek.

The Government is also progressing to the next stage on the future Belconnen to City Transitway, with detailed design of bus priority measures along Haydon Drive and Belconnen Way.
