New tables at the shops
In June this year, the ACT Government provided an additional table on the lawns at the shops. They have now fixed the new table near the walkway that goes to the bus stop on Madigan Street.
But no more tables in our parks
Following the HCA submission to the 2020-21 ACT Budget consultation process, tables were provided in the Gilruth and Bragg Street parks. The HCA provided a submission (no.78) into the 2021-22 ACT Budget consultation. This submission requested the provision of tables in Tyron St- Mackenzie St, French St and Caldwell St parks, and at the northern end of the Hackett Oval under the trees near the carpark. Unfortunately, our request has not received funding. We will try again next year. To see all the budget submissions go to https://www.budgetconsultation.act.gov.au/input-received
