This paves the way for over 500 new homes in this small-scale sustainable suburb.
A key milestone has been reached today with the opening of the latest stage of the suburb of Jacka.
This paves the way for the construction of over 500 new homes.
When complete, this small-scale sustainable suburb will be home to almost 1,800 residents.
Around 70 per cent of Jacka will be dedicated to wide-open space, including playing fields, netball courts, an EV charging station, a central playground, and interconnected pathways and trails.
This new stage will include single residential, multi-unit, community spaces and commercial opportunities in the future Local Centre.
The ACT is working to prioritise housing choice, supply and affordability for all Canberrans. Opening up more land for new homes will increase overall housing supply.
Jacka has a target of 15 per cent affordable, community and public homes.
It will also be an all-electric suburb. Future residents can take advantage of rebates and bonds to include energy-efficient features, such as solar panels, in their homes.
The Suburban Land Agency is working closely with the local community and stakeholders to understand what they want to see in the future Jacka Local Centre.
