Tales From Tuggeranong, TCC public servants petition

By 30 April, 2013

It is pleasing to see the TCC President is finally focussing on areas in the Valley apart from his beloved Calwell.
Perhaps my reports are starting to hit home. The latest is that he has launched a petition calling on the federal government to keep and even boost the number of public servants in the [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong. A master plan for Calwell or a conflict of interest?

By 9 April, 2013

How absurd is the latest ranting from the Tuggeranong Community Council (Canberra Times, 8 April 2013, Page 2) One week we have the TCC calling for more development and now they don’t want any. Today the TCC has called for an immediate halt to all future building and construction in South East Tuggeranong until the [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong, TCC Update

By 3 April, 2013

I have just returned from another Tuggeranong Community Council meeting and it seems things are going from bad to worse under the new president. 
A number of members left in disgust tonight over his performance and some have vowed not to return. 
The TCC Executive need to pull him into line, explain how to run [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong – TCC Media Release gaffe

By 24 February, 2013

I have just read a media release from the new president of the Tuggeranong Community Council.
It seems the TCC is so eager to see Zed in Federal Parliament it has already crowned him “Senator” Seselja. (Hope that goes down well with Gary Humphries and his supporters) Doesn’t the TCC realise there needs to be [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong, Katy at the TCC Meeting

By 7 February, 2013

It was good to see the Chief Minister, Katy Gallagher at the last Tuggeranong Community Council Meeting. More than 60 people were at the meeting and asked her many questions about Tuggeranong, public transport, health, planning and development, aircraft noise and Tralee just to mention a few.
It was a very good night, spoiled only [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong – Zed does a runner

By 5 February, 2013

Many voters in Tuggeranong are seething, me for one.
After serving less than four months as the member for Brindabella, Zed has announced he is doing a runner and setting his sights on the Big House on the Hill.
Steve Dozpott was sent packing to Molonglo because, so we were told, Zed wanted to serve [...]

Gallagher attending TCC Meeting

By 4 February, 2013

I have just received the agenda for the next Tuggeranong Community Council meeting. The guest speaker will be the Chief Minister, Katy Gallagher. Perhaps she will take the time to explain why Tuggeranong is treated as the poor cousins of Canberra.
I also note that eyesore they call the Namadgi Bridge is getting a new coat [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong – Shop keepers forget it’s Christmas

By 21 December, 2012

I don’t think many people would even know it is Christmas in Tuggeranong.
The Hype Dome has few decorations.
Walking through there you would be forgiven for thinking it was just another day.
And, every other business in Greenway appears to have forgotten it is Christmas.
What is wrong with businesses in Tuggeranong joining forces, [...]

Tales From Tuggeranong – Lake Tuggeranong

By 15 December, 2012

I attended the recent meeting of a group of Tuggeranong residents concerned about the state of the Lake.
It was apt that around the time of the meeting the Lake was again closed due to an outbreak of algae.
At the meeting they were saying that Lake Tuggeranong is closed more times than any other [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong – Graduation Ceremony

By 11 December, 2012

Another graduation ceremony at St Mary MacKillop College in Tuggeranong has passed with students taking out many awards.
Congrats to Michael Lee, his staff and to another group of fine young men and women.
This is just one of the many schools in Tuggeranong whose teachers and students we can all be proud of.

Tales from Tuggeranong – The Red Menace

By 11 December, 2012

Melbourne has its ”Yellow Peril” sculpture at Southbank and Tuggeranong has its “Red Menace” not just one but two.
What looks like a giant red Bogon Moth has now been joined by another huge red monstrosity, a pedestrian bridge over Drakeford Drive.
I accept a pedestrian bridge is needed near the school, but surely architects and designers could have used [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong – The Hype Dome

By 7 December, 2012

So the new extensions to the Tuggeranong Hyperdome are open.  
I took a good look around today and soon realised that its a lot of the same old same old, re-arranging the chairs so to speak.
Yep, there are a few new tennants in Big W, JB Hi Fi and one or two others, but the rest are mainly old tennants [...]

Tales from Tuggeranong, rumblings in the Tuggeranong Community Council

By 3 December, 2012

Seems Belconnen Community Council is not the only one with problems.
I have heard from within ACT political circles that not all is OK within the Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC).
After three years of  a strong and active TCC Executive apparently not all members are happy with the new president and his style of leadership [...]
