Yesterday the ABC warned that unless more office space was built real-soon-now Government departments would be forced to move out of Canberra.
The reason for that piece of media management becomes obvious in today’s Canberra Times with a story [Link fixed] revelling in the headline: Revealed: Greater Civic Massive space unlocked. I suspect there’s some punctuation lost in translation to the web, but I like the idea of the Civic Massif so we’re going to go with that.
The NCA is apparently poised to unveil “A staggering two million square metres of floor space – nearly three times the size of Civic and equivalent to six Manukas” to be built from City Hill down to the lake.
