Other public-interest matters

Canberra Public Interest is currently focused on DPA-14 and the proposed changes affecting Block 1653 Belconnen.

From time to time, the site may consider other ACT community issues where there is a clear public-interest need, source material is available, and residents would benefit from a plain-English explanation.

If you are aware of an ACT public decision, consultation or community matter that may warrant attention, please contact us and include links to official or credible source material where possible.
