Located at the terminus of Northbourne and Commonwealth Avenues, City Hill park is a significant public space for our City Centre and the National Capital.
As our City Centre grows, City Hill must grow into a great place for people. We’re considering the possibilities to improve its use, amenity, comfort and attractiveness for locals and visitors alike.
We are seeking ideas from the Canberra community from 13 February to 25 March 2024 to help rethink the future of City Hill park.
The ideas exhibition is a very early-stage engagement to determine the community’s aspirations for City Hill park and we hope to encourage students, community groups, local residents and businesses and all members of the ACT community to take part.
With this project we’re seeking ideas to:
The project will continue to uphold City Hill as a place of significance and marker as a key apex in the National Triangle and terminating the axis with Parliament House. The National Capital Plan states that permitted land uses for City Hill park are “park and ancillary uses”.
The National Capital Authority is the responsible planning authority for the site and we will work closely with them on the preparation of a competition brief.
