We are planning, constructing and operating light rail today to ensure the Canberra of tomorrow – with a population of 500,000 by 2030 – can move easily and continue to enjoy Canberra as one of Australia’s most liveable cities.
Having delivered light rail from Gungahlin to the City in April 2019, we are now ready to extend the north-south spine down to Woden.
The Canberra Hospital Expansion Project has delivered new buildings and infrastructure projects across the Canberra Hospital campus including a new administration building for staff, new teaching and training facilities and a temporary staff carpark. The centrepiece building of the project, the new Critical Services Building, is now being constructed. This building will boost healthcare capacity for our region and will include a new Emergency Department, more operating rooms, more treatment spaces and more intensive care beds.
With an investment of over $600 million, the Canberra Hospital Expansion Project is the biggest investment in healthcare infrastructure ever made by the ACT Government.’
We are preparing to build a state-of-the-art Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) campus and public transport interchange at Woden Town Centre.
This significant investment in Woden’s renewal will support job creation, both during construction and once the facility is operational, while aiding long-term economic growth in the area. It is anticipated that 6,500 students will use the new campus each year, benefitting from a contemporary educational environment, courses suited to jobs of the future, and enhanced connections with local industry
The Canberra Theatre Redevelopment project will create a world-class destination for artists and audiences in the heart of Canberra’s Civic and Cultural District.
The project encompasses a new 2,000 seat theatre and upgrades to the Courtyard Studio, The Playhouse and Canberra Theatre.
It is the ACT Government’s ambition for Canberra to be recognised as Australia’s arts capital and the redevelopment of the Canberra Theatre Centre brings this vision another step closer.
