Fetherston Gardens for 2011 - Annual Garden Ramblings

The Fetherston Gardens restoration is underway. A year has passed since we started on this journey, and the Gardens and arboretum are looking grateful for the intervention of Volunteers. Before us were acres of overrun ivy, up every tree trunk, smothering any idea of a garden with plants. We started at the front gate, too frightened to leap much further along the paths, what paths! We had to find those too.

Weston Creek Community Council - November 2011 Chronicle

Article posted on Wednesday 23 November 2011 | Leave a comment »

Council welcomes the decision by Government to prepare a master plan for the Weston Group Centre.  This is a great initiative which is really long overdue.

And NOW is the time for Weston Creek residents to comment on this proposed master plan.  This is our opportunity to let the ACT Government know what works and what doesn’t, what isn’t provided and what is needed.  Think about parking, buses, the lack of services, the impact of the Molonglo developments but don’t forget what you like about Cooleman Court and the Weston Group Centre.  The greater the input the greater likelihood that Government will listen.  Don’t waste this opportunity to make your comments known.  Have your say at environment.act.gov.au/weston or contact the community engagement team on 62071923.
