DAVID POCOCK Town Hall 3 September
OCN ACT is an important contributor to this event and with the Assembly Inquiry into Strata Management having reported and the Government Response currently being prepared and ‘Missing Middle policies’ increasing the importance of this discussion; you are encouraged to register via link below and note if physical attendance sells out Online Participation will be available.

Latest advice from David’s Office says more attendance is possible as venue has been expanded and SOLD OUT Notice is no longer applicable.
Please circulate as widely as possible to clients, friends, associates and family as Housing is such a critical issue and apartments, townhouses and duplexes are part of the solution but “density needs to be done well” as the Event Title states.
Regards Gary Petherbridge

Canberra is growing, and more of us will live in townhouses and apartments in the years ahead. The question isn't whether our city changes - it's whether we get that change right.
How do we make sure new homes and communities are well built, affordable to live in and designed for the future? How do we restore confidence in apartment living, reduce building defects, improve strata management and make it easier for residents to access rooftop solar, home batteries and EV charging?
Join ACT and Federal Independent representatives alongside leading experts in planning, construction and sustainability for a practical conversation about what "density done well" really looks like - and the reforms needed to build a better Canberra. Whether you already live in an apartment or townhouse, are thinking about moving into one, or care about planning a sustainable future for Canberra, we'd love you to be part of the conversation.
