The ACT Government has released the Better Suburbs Statement 22-23 to highlight all the progress being made to deliver better city services and public facilities in line with the priorities of the Canberra community.
“We are upgrading infrastructure in suburbs all around Canberra to make sure our city has the right mix of infrastructure as it continues to grow,” said Minister for Transport and City Services Chris Steel.
“The Better Suburbs Budget Statement tracks our investment and delivery progress for a range of city services priorities that were identified by Canberrans for Canberrans.
“We’re investing a significant amount in new and upgraded suburban infrastructure projects from local shops, playgrounds, and dog parks, right through to additional road and path maintenance, better sports grounds and stormwater improvements.
“These investments in city services will support a city that is green and vibrant, attractive and well maintained with easy access to shops and recreational facilities via roads, pathways and public transport."
The Better Suburbs Statement was developed in 2018 through a deliberative democratic process which brought together a representative group of 54 Canberrans to make collective decisions about services for our city.
Together, this group identified 14 key priorities, along with clear guidance on how the ACT Government should focus our investment to secure the future of these services.
The Better Suburbs Budget Statement 22-23 outlines what was delivered in the last financial year and provides an outline of what Canberrans can look forward to in 23-24.
