Cooleman Court Issues
Temporary Car Park not to proceed at Watling Place
The ACT Government today announced that the temporary Car park proposed for Watling place would not proceed.

Despite Council writing to Minister Steel advising him that the now 65 car park spaces could be found from a review of the current parking in and around Cooleman Court, Government has gone ahead and lodged a Development Application.

Another Blow to our Community – Target is closing at Coolo.
Wesfarmers announced today that the Target Store that we all love, and have loved for years in Cooleman Court, is to be closed. This is another shattering blow to our Community following the closure of the Commonwealth Bank Branch at Coolo in March.
The timing is appalling in the middle of the Covid 19 crisis.
Council is shattered and surprised that this has been announced like all bad news, on a Friday afternoon. This is more than disappointing for our Community, it is a blow to the body. It is also a blow for those who will lose their employment at this time and for the Centre itself with the largest retail shop closing. No mention of a Kmart coming in. Surely this is not the time for a conglomerate like Wesfarmers to make these decisions.
While it is another blow to the local community, we are resilient and we will get through this as well. Read the letter advising the closure here.
