The purpose-built facility is located on Clunies Ross Street. It boasts:
- modern technology
- sustainable design
- amenities that prioritise staff wellbeing.
Serving the local community
The central location benefits residents and businesses in the Acton and city precinct.
Both services began working from Acton in late July. Since then they have responded to over 900 jobs.
Myriad benefits
The new station has greatly boosted service capabilities.
It also plays a role in:
- maintaining the ACT’s nation-leading emergency response times
- improving capacity at nearby stations.
Important preparation
Construction of the station was completed in late June 2025.
Crews then settled into the new space, getting familiar with its facilities before it opened.
This essential step has ensured staff are well supported in their work.
Learnings for the future
Information gleaned from this process will help emergency services as they expand further.
Molonglo Emergency Services Station is due to open in 2026.
Another station will be built in Casey in the coming years.
