25.01.2022 For CT Subscribers, or those who read the CT in a local cafe. We hope the CT has lodged FoI requests showing what is planned for our local patch. "The Canberra Times exclusively obtained details of Canberra Racing's master plan through a freedom-of-information request for new ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury's portfolio brief." https://www.canberratimes.com.au//plan-for-residential-c/

25.01.2022 The "gift that keeps giving", the Trenerry Square upgrade made number 2 position on The Riot_Act's top 15 story list in 2020: https://www.facebook.com/18998333849/posts/10158946098218850/

25.01.2022 Thinking outside the . What a wonderful project and interesting design. Hope you’re enjoying life in the Creek, Peter!

25.01.2022 There’s been a lot of discussion about crime in the area lately and this is just tipping it over the edge. Perhaps the police can speak to local residents, who were already having a meeting today about escalating crime?

24.01.2022 An explanation of why Council will keep the pressure up to ensure the now promised bridge on John Gorton Drive is built: https://www.facebook.com/104426247923060/posts/180781300287554/

24.01.2022 Update from the police. Apparently, no new aggravated burglaries since 1 October. But please remain vigilant. So... the extra presence on the street and community pressure may be doing something... and that’s great! Please keep reporting crime, online and to the police, so we can continue making our community safer and stronger

24.01.2022 Lots of positives in this post by Chris Steel below, but what is missing? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3845634798797097&id=1138388002855137

23.01.2022 We recently asked what you were looking for in a political candidate. You answered:

23.01.2022 Interesting article and captures some of the main issues yet misses the depth of feeling about the inadequate police presence in Weston Creek and Molonglo suburbs: https://www.facebook.com/59427090043/posts/10157039080050044/

22.01.2022 even the shopping trolleys are getting excited about Floriade Reimagined

18.01.2022 A very pleasing announcement from the Government about a Brierly Street upgrade below. Council would however prefer a commitment to a review of the outdated master plan before this update proceeds, because changes made in isolation will surely result in a sub-optimal outcome. It is now important for people to provided input into our short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BT6VHKS https://www.facebook.com/1138388002855137/posts/3839038569456720/

18.01.2022 Council Chair, Tom Anderson, had a number of conversations with media outlets over the last couple of days. We are trying to post all the reports and clips here: https://www.facebook.com/59711532124/posts/10159238270452125/

18.01.2022 Yes, we have another pre election survey we are asking you to complete. This time it is on the provision of library services - a request we often receive. Please allow 2 minutes out of your day to complete: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZKTWJJ3

18.01.2022 All that is left of the "leaning tree of Trennery Square". Off to green waste it goes.

17.01.2022 Did you see anything? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=715897985724544&id=171299776851037

16.01.2022 We don't normally post articles from other parts of the world here, but there are some lessons contained in this article on attempts to ban the humble leaf blower in Washington DC. While we are agnostic on the core issue, we are very much interested in the impact of citizen participation https://www.theatlantic.com//james-fallows-leaf-bl/583210/

15.01.2022 Floriade Re:Imagined starts today! Running for a month, you can pop past our site on the corner of Streeton Drive and Darwinia Terrace to see the beautiful tulips and silly scarecrows. This is a community project - if you want to add your own scarecrow, please do! Watch the space evolve over the next month. Special thanks all the locals who participated and to the team at @Floriade for your support with the project :) Hope everyone enjoys the flowers! Lifes a garden, baby. Dig it!

15.01.2022 Hope people treat this bad news as a wake up call: https://www.policenews.act.gov.au//update-three-hospital-a

15.01.2022 Fiona Carrick won't be the only person closely monitoring this project. Council will be all over it, as will many members of the community: https://www.facebook.com/112399283855567/posts/160551719040323/

15.01.2022 Today's photos from our Floriade patch at Chapman

14.01.2022 Suburban land agency is interested in what community facilities residents of Molonglo would like on the final CF zoned space site 10/63 in Wright. Any ideas? Let us know!

14.01.2022 Council has called for an upgrade of the Weston Creek Master plan as one of its 2020 election priorities. We asked your views in this still open survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BT6VHKS See the progress snapshot

14.01.2022 From the Coombs Caretaker's Cottage garden today

13.01.2022 Troubling to learn of this: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=342903726821248&id=59711532124

13.01.2022 Welcome to the November 2020 Public Meeting for those unable to attend. Feel free to offer comments and ask questions. We will endeavour to get your input to the speakers

13.01.2022 Message from ACT Policing regarding the incident at Weston Skate Park. Shared from Mount Stromlo High School page

13.01.2022 Another great article by Paul Costigan. FYI Paul often attends community meetings, where other media do not.

13.01.2022 Clearly this shopping trolley is a bit out of shape.

12.01.2022 With so many apartments planned or in the works for Woden, does Cooleman Court really need 4-6 story buildings? Would you prefer it to retain its character, easy access and unique feel? A village atmosphere might be something of value in our region, a little like Manuka or Kingston. Any views?

12.01.2022 For those wondering about the Heysen St project: https://www.facebook.com/143942492450441/posts/1662164927294849/

10.01.2022 Council is asking what you look for in a politician when deciding who you will vote for (or not vote for). If you feel like sharing your thinking, please complete the attached very short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WQG78BF

09.01.2022 And the Liberals have come back with this: https://citynews.com.au//the-liberals-have-plans-for-molo/

08.01.2022 Council cautiously welcomes this positive announcement from the Chief Minister, but for how long will this temporary increase last? When will the Government commit to a permanent police presence in our area? https://www.canberratimes.com.au//police-patrols-ramped-/

03.01.2022 Great article from Paul Costigan, featuring Fiona Carrick, about the ongoing costs of continual upgrades in the city vs the lack of upgrades in the Murrumbidgee electorate - Weston Creek, Woden and Molonglo.

The full list can be found at: https://westoncreek.org.au/

02.01.2022 So it seems one needs to post on social media about dangerous driving if action is required: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1862303703921137&id=157901847694673
