Our Interests
The Woden Valley Community Council engages as widely as possible with the Woden community on a range of issues affecting Woden residents. The Council engages with the ACT Government on behalf of Woden residents. We are in regular contact with the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services, Canberra Urban parks and Places and the ACT Planning and Land Authority. We have a statutory responsibility to seek comment and respond to Government on proposed developments in the Woden Valley. On-going issues of interest to the Council are:
- the need for a community arts and cultural facility in the Woden Town Centre.
- major development proposals in the Valley
- Woden East development
- Phillip Oval re-development
- Burnie court re-development
- public transport and car parking
- Eddison Park and other Woden parks
- hospital developments
- graffiti and maintenance of public places in Woden
- facilities for the aged and youth
