Consultation has concluded

At our Council meeting in September 2017, Council resolved to not proceed with the development at this location. There is still a need for a new Head Office in Queanbeyan, and Council are currently considering options. We will be consulting with the community when new concept plans have been developed and will provide a link here for the community to comment.

A green civic plaza leading residents and visitors towards the cultural heart of the Queanbeyan CBD is the essence of the concept design for a new cultural and civic precinct in the Crawford/Lowe St area. We are now seeking input on from the community on this project.

The concept design prepared by Cox Architecture enhances the look and feel of the Crawford/Lowe St block of the CBD. It introduces a green civic plaza, invites pedestrian activity, accommodates car parking requirements, and presents the community with a modern Council Head Office and Smart Hub space.

The redevelopment of Council’s headquarters has been a long-term project, however with staff currently spread across 11 buildings in the CBD, the need for the redevelopment is greater than ever.

A Heads of Agreement has been signed with a major tenant to occupy the building alongside Council which will provide income. The major tenant will occupy one of the two levels of basement car parking, a large portion of the ground floor and all of floor one. The remaining four floors of the redeveloped building will be accommodated by Council Chambers, smart hub and Council offices.

We have also developed some frequently asked questions which can be downloaded here.
