Residents near two Housing ACT properties in Alexandria St, Hawker, have organised a petition objecting to plans released in this Christmas-New Year period to replace two single houses with five (see above under DAs). The plans would result in significant loss of green space and trees in contradiction of the recent changes accepted by the ACT Government under Variation 369 to reduce the heat island effect of hard surfaces that absorb heat. The petition can be signed online or submitted on paper. Consultation on this DA closes on 17 January 2022.
