The line of floats is extent of the infill of West Basin. This area and almost all of the existing parkland is to be developed with multi-storied buildings. The image viewed from above is by Alan Robertson. The panoramic image from the shore is by Juliet Ramsay.

The ACT Government aided by the National Capital Authority propose a land grab at West Basin by pushing out the shore line to the extent of floats shown on these images. An extensive foreshore of boardwalk, promenade, water spaces and pavilions is to be built beyond the line of infill.

This infill land and most of the current green open space of West Basin is then to be developed with multi-storied buildings.

THIS PUBLIC LAKESHORE PARKLAND IS OURS
DON’T LET IT BE SOLD TO DEVELOPERS
