Executive Summary

The ACT Rugby Union is undertaking a planning study to support a Variation to the Territory Plan.

As part of the Plan Variation process, community consultation is required to inform the surrounding residents of the proposed development and to gather comments and views from the local community.

This report outlines the consultation activities undertaken, the observations made, the community feedback and conclusions prior to submitting a Planning Report to the ACT Planning and Land Authority.



MID50759_Griffith 4

1 Consultation Activities The following consultation activities have been undertaken to date to inform the community and stakeholder groups about the proposed development prior to submitting a planning report to the ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA):

• Newspaper Notification • Local Resident Notification • Notification of the public information sessions on the ACT

Brumbies web page • Email circulation of the consultation and public information

sessions to general membership and supporters • Community Information Sessions

1.1 Newspaper Notification

Newspaper Notifications were placed in the Canberra Times on 7, 14, 18 and 21 November 2009. The notices informed the general public of the project and invited attendance at the public information sessions (see below). A copy of the newspaper notice is included at Appendix A

1.2 Local Resident Notification

An information flyer was distributed to approximately 600 residents in the immediate vicinity of the Canberra South Bowling Club and the Griffith Oval. The fliers were distributed the week of the 9th of November, as a follow up to the advertisement in the Canberra Times on Saturday 7 November 2009.

The extent of the residents’ notification via a letterbox drop was assessed based on the possible impact the proposal may have. Appendix B shows the areas included in the letterbox drop notification process.

1.3 Notification on the ACT Brumbies Web Page

The ACT Brumbies issued a media release on 7 November (Appendix C) regarding the two public information and consultation sessions. The notice included details of the process of preparation of a supporting planning study for the proposed variation to the Territory Plan. Details of the location and dates of the information and consultation sessions were included in the notification.



MID50759_Griffith 5

1.4 Email circulation

In conjunction with the 7 November media release, the general membership and supporter base of the ACT Brumbies were advised of the information and consultation sessions via email and associated links to the appropriate web page of the ACT Brumbies web site.

1.5 Community Information Session

Two information sessions were hosted at the Canberra South Bowling Club in Griffith on Monday 23 November 2009 and Tuesday 24 November 2009 between the hours of 4 and 7 pm.

The information sessions were structured as “Drop In” sessions – an informal way in which to present information. Key project team members and representatives from the Brumbies were in attendance to explain project information and answer any questions that the community had. A registration desk and four information posts were set up at the venue with information posters displayed.

The 3 hour time frame of the information sessions permitted the community to arrive and depart at various times throughout the evening and also facilitated the opportunity to discuss issues raised with smaller groups of people or on a one on one basis with the project team.

2 Observations

The information session format as discussed in Section 1 worked well. Those who attended the session took time to view the information on display and spoke with the project team as well as representatives from the Brumbies.

The first session had a positive turnout with 75 signatures collected. The majority of those who attended visited the session between 4 and 6 pm, with people staying an average of 15 to 20 minutes. The second evening had a smaller attendance rate with 36 additional names collected (refer to Appendix 2 for the Registration of Attendance).

3 Community Feedback Attendees at the information session were invited to provide feedback verbally or in writing. A feedback form was made available for those who wished to write in their comments.



MID50759_Griffith 6

A total of 47 written responses have been received as of 4th December 2009. The responses have all been recorded and the comments noted. The four main reoccurring comments have been listed below with the complete set of responses and the comments schedule attached at Appendix 3. Reoccurring Comments from respondents:

• Concerned about the amount of public access to the oval and/or the loss of open space. Do not agree with rezoning Block 17.

• Concern about scale of residential development on Block 15.

• Concern about loss of trees.

• Request illuminated pathway between Wells Gardens and Flinders way for increased safety and amenity.

4 Conclusion The two information session evenings have formed part of a pre-consultation phase of the project and the feedback from the community has been invaluable in assessing the communities concerns and needs. The Territory Plan Variation process will incorporate further opportunities for the community to provide comment.

Brumbies Rugby seeks community input Saturday, 7 November 2009 Brumbies Media Unit

Brumbies Rugby has announced two public information and consultation sessions to seek the views of the community on a possible improvement to its Griffith headquarters.

Brumbies Rugby is undertaking a planning study which will support an application to the ACT Government to vary the Territory Plan.

If the variation is approved it would to allow for medium density housing and a new training and administration facility to be built at Griffith.

“It’s clear that we have to do something”, Brumbies Rugby CEO Andrew Fagan said. “Our training facilities are poor and they have to be improved in order to remain competitive and viable in the future.

“We also have to address building a more sustainable financial future for the CA Brumbies in Canberra. Under the current zoning for the site we could develop a more substantial licensed premises at the Bowling Club but we believe that’s a use incompatible with the needs of the local residents.

“On the other hand, we think that medium density housing on the site is a sound option. It’s compatible with a lot of the other development that’s going on in the area and we know it will be popular with many of the locals who are looking to downsize from their larger family homes but who want to stay in the area.

“We’re at the very beginning of a process so what we’re doing is taking the opportunity to hold some information sessions that will allow us to hear the views of the locals. We want to know their thoughts about our idea”.

The public information and consultation sessions will be held at the former Canberra South Bowling Club (Austin Street, Griffith) between 4pm and 7pm on Monday, 23 November and Tuesday, 24 November. All those interested are invited to attend.
