The Arboretum - a housing estate?

Do unpark your witless head from between those buns for a seccy and take note that my OP is clear: I caught a few seconds of the item. OK? Now, feel free to put your head back.

BS

Your OP is clear, clear that you heard a 10 second bit then automatically jumped to conclusions and announced to all that *apparamtly there will be houses among the trees* then continued to conjecture then put the boot into Stanhope.

Then continuing, you prove you are only a actual tree lover when it comes to being a troll or if it allows you to slag off at a labor or green.

BTW that massive red box you apparamtly google mapped and reported has been chopped down for ages but no one has even sent a letter or knocked on the door.

Do you mean to say “There will be no housing at the Arboretum”? You’ve left yourselves all the wriggle room you need to build housing in the Arboretum with “existing future plans” that statement.

You’re talking to a public servant, not a psychic. The current government can zone the area such that nobody’s allowed to live there and in a few years a new mob can come in and approve a microwave power plant and an arcology.

What can the TAMS media room possibly say to deny the rumour without making policy decisions for the deep dark future?

The Arboretum should also be used to house a national cemetery, akin to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC. Where only veterans and thier spouse and citizens of significant renown can be buried. With the core of the countries historical archives all stored in Canberra, what better place is there for it so that people from all over can make the pilgrimage and research their family heritage and great Australians is the one city.

Any prizes for guessing who the first two “citizens of significant renown” are that would be buried there?

Hopefully two dead ones?

That would be optional for the two I was thinking of.

I’ll dig one of them for you! : )

Theres going to be no shortage of people we’d love to see interred there but love them or hate them (and I hate most of them), they all form part of this country’s great history. Many will choose to be buried elsewhere, in home towns or near loved ones and it will take a while for it to catch on, especially in the early days where gravesites would be few, but death is quite trendy, everybody ends up giving it a crack and before long the place would become quite interesting.
It would also be a suitable place for memorials to disasters that affect the country and not just a localised region, say for example a tragedy like the loss of HMAS Voyager where the crew came from all over Australia and any aircraft crashes that occur (and one day it will happen). What about the occasional remains of lost military personnel that are found on some isolated field or jungle ravine, we could begin to do what the US did after WW2, and that is bring our dead home.

I know this place is full of arsehats and grammar nazi’s who have nothing better to do than complain but how about for once, people actually have some vision for this country and its future and look beyond the trivialities of what has made up the bulk of this topic and picture something that would be truly important, thought provoking, enduring and maybe, just maybe, might give this cold and sterile place the one thing it lacks, a soul.

Maybe then, people will want to visit Canberra, the place will have a certain reverence about it, a mystical quality that draws people in.

I’ve been to Arlington twice. It’s an amazing place and if it was closer, I’d go every day because behind every single piece of granite and marble is a fascinating story that encourages study, thought, reflection, hope, and promise because for so many people that are entombed or remembered there, these feelings were denied them so it is us, the living that must do it for them.

It will be a lot more than just a place to whack our dead PM’s and ministers, if only people would see beyond the petty arguments that fill their daily lives now and see that such a place may be just what this country needs to recover its identity, which is slowly fading away as we speak.

If that is accurate, then there looks to be wriggle room for quite a few houses within the Arboretum boundary. Maybe it’s an approximate plan?

Far east, you are unstoppable in your trollling. You got it wrong. How hard is it to admit that?

Like I said, awfully grateful for your help in listening to the tape for me. Now you’re running around and measuring the boundaries for me on the map! So nice of you! Thanks so much!

lets hope in 10years Canberra had re-learned how to build a decent suburb. otherwise, imagine all that land covered in roofs with no land left for gardens.

If you look at the Territory Plan some of the blocks of land are split between two uses. Whoever drew the staging plan seems to have used the block numbers and so where a block is split they have put it in both categories.

I take it you have already seen the business plan then?
Bob Winnel (Village Building) is a director of The Brassey Hotel and The National Aboretum so he may be interested in building an “enviro hotel” (whatever that is).

I am not at all sure that creating an artfully arranged fuel-load for the next big fire was the best use of that space, or of the public funds which have been, and will continue to be, sunk into it – but the deed has been done, and if some offsetting revenue can be earned from it, why not. Yes, it’s a big “if” – and there’s always the chance that the fine Aussie tradition of privatising the profits and socialising the losses would be at play – hence the words “done well, it could” in my earlier comment.

There are no plans for housing at the Arboretum.

In the immortal words of Sarah Hanson-Young – diddums! Your post was actually very aggressive, wasn’t intended to achieve anything or answer the original question and enlighten Canberrans about what’s happening at the Arboretum, hence the response in kind.

I agree with Masquara on this one. Given that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the article she posted, and her question legitimate, there was no need for Queen of the Bun to get on her high horse.

Besides compared to some of the personal insults that aren’t modded this one was quite tame by comparison, my Queen….

I disagree that my initial comment warranted me being called an a**hat and being told to STFU. I find Masquara unnecessarily aggressive and offensive in most of his/her posts, but don’t think I have ever sworn at a fellow Rioter, even at 1am.

I watch the first story if I’m near a TV and that’s it these days. 7.30ACT ‘s production is abysmal these days. So many interesting things they could do too.

Probably. Depends on any longstanding aggro, excessive anonymity, identity changes and trolling record I guess.

Maybe that’s because you know in your heart that you were not asking for information, you were putting a misleading statement out in the public domain and asking people to demolish it.

I wasn’t watching 7.30 on Friday night – but I think somehow that if there was such a great story around about a housing estate in the Arboretum, it would have been picked up by now by ABC 666 or the Canberra Times by now.

Thanks for the swearing though – that’s always the moment when a troll loses the argument.

I would imagine it is yet another example of quality ABC reporting and the reporter is confused about where Molonglo is located

Bird houses (nesting boxes) or possum houses perhaps?

If there’s a buck to be made, then I suspect the answer is “yes”.

It would fit well.

Remarkable how Labor put up this memorial to the single asylum seeker sinking which happened under the Howard government, yet there have been no memorials to the many sinkings and drownings of queue-jumpers which happened under Gillard and Rudd.

Then again, we are well used to hypocrisy and duplicity by the Left and their sympathisers.

My guess is that these will be for the elite, deep thinking people in our midst who will meditate in them.
The arboretum is becoming less of an arboretum and more of a theme park every day.
