Weston’s Big Build Finally Begins | Australia News
Description
After a decade of delays and community debates, Village Building Co is finally breaking ground on the former Australian Police Force site in Weston, transforming it into 168 townhouses — ditching the original apartment plan — plus a childcare center and healthcare facility. Fueled by strong local demand for family-friendly upgrades, the project marks a major milestone after years of tribunal hearings and planning hurdles. CEO Rob Fisher applauds recent ACT planning reforms for streamlining the process, noting community feedback was simple: “get on with it.” Construction of the first 49 homes begins early 2027, with move-ins before May 2028 — a marathon finally turning into a sprint.
