1. I am familiar with this project and support it, and the draft concept sketch plans were commendable. However Dickson Residents Group members and to the best of my knowledge all of my neighbours are currently overwhelmed by the COVID-19 state of emergency and will have zero capacity to download, review and examine the associated plans and documentation. North Canberra Community Council meetings have been cancelled so there is currently no effective face to face forum for sharing information or for the applicant to present and answer questions. I am therefore unable to discuss or coordinate a response to this proposal and am concerned that in the absence of meaningful feedback the process of assessment will proceed without any effective planning input or community buy-in, which may well mean that the approval is regarded as flying under the radar and the project, and possibly also its future tenants, is tainted. Under the circumstances I would recommend postponing public notification until such time as the COVID-19 state of emergency has passed and community groups are able to resume operating. Failing this, it may be necessary to classify special projects on the basis of their urgency for addressing COVID-19 and ensure that resources are allocated to contacting a wider circle of adjoining properties by mail with all the necessary information.
