See below for the design of Canberra’s Town Centres and the inequitable distribution of social infrastructure across Canberra.
Canberra’s Town Centres
The design of Canberra is based on having ‘satellite cities,’ i.e., Town Centres. These centres should provide essential services allowing people living within the catchment to live locally.
Through ‘living locally,’ community and a sense of belonging is built. This is important to nourish minds, bodies and souls.
The arrows show the general movement of public transport to the Town Centres.
Canberra’s Indoor Sports Stadiums
As stated, Town Centres should have essential services. One of those is the opportunity for physical exercise. There is a big gap in the South of Canberra.
Woden and Gungahlin are currently missing out. Gungahlin is proposed to have an indoor sports facility in Casey.
Spaces for sport to flourish allow clubs to grow. That means higher participation for players, coaches and supporting volunteers.
Canberra’s 50m pools
The Inner North has Dickson Pool.
The City is closer to AIS (Federal), Big Splash (private) and CISAC (private) than Woden is to the Stromlo Leisure Centre.
The location of social infrastructure across Canberra is not planned fairly.
