The GNCA’s petition, with 1,833 petitioners, was sponsored by long-serving Kurrajong MLA, Elizabeth Lee and was tabled in the ACT Assembly on Wednesday 27 May. It called on the ACT Government to:
- Reconsider the location of the proposed inner south health centre in order to protect the character, established trees and amenity of the open space and recreational parkland behind the Griffith shops;
- Instead utilise currently zoned community facility land in either Manuka or Kingston Group Centres, or in Eastlake or its vicinity;
- Provide a full range of Walk-In services;
- Consider inner south residents’ future needs;
- Undertake genuine, open consultation with residents (including a town hall meeting); and
- Reverse the decision to declare the health centre a TPP.
