We've received an encouraging update from the ACT Heritage Council about the Brick Banks at Erindale. We aren't in the clear yet but we've made it to the next step. "The Brick Banks are now listed as a 'nominated' place to the ACT Heritage Register and will be assessed by the Council against the heritage significance criteria established under the Heritage Act 2004. As the nomination has been accepted by the Council, the provisions of the Act apply." #CBRsk8 #CanberraSkateboarding ... See more

KFC DA next to Belco Skate Park rejected by ACT Government planners

The BCC rarely oppose Development Applications. Hundreds are approved every year and people get on with making Belconnen a better place to live and do business. Occasionally a proposal lacks merit and is inappropriate, or has issues that could be resolved with consultation.

Late last year DA201630298 was lodged to build a drive through takeaway restaurant on Emu Bank, next to the Belco Skate Park.
The BCC and many residents in Belconnen made submissions to Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development about the DA, and today we have been advised that it has been refused.

The DA was refused on three grounds:
- The DA didn't satisfy lease purposes allowed for that site
- The DA was inconsistent with the Precinct Code
- The DA was inconsistent with the Master Plan objectives.

This site should never have been sold, and other DA's for the site have failed in the past. The BCC recommend the ACT Government resume this land and expand the Belco Skate Park, or simply grass it and let people enjoy the lake (y)

It's always refreshing when people see the planning system work well. ... See more
