This project is open for feedback

Project update: April 2025

The Draft Subdivision Design was submitted for review in late December 2024, and feedback is being considered. Excavation for an Archaeological Survey finished in February 2025 and findings now being reviewed by ACT Heritage. A renewed Contamination Environmental Significance Opinion is also under review. The Principal Design Team worked with the SLA, artsACT and arts organisations to further improve precinct function and landscape design. SLA aims to share more details by mid-2025.

How Your Say Helps Us

The Suburban Land Agency and artsACT are taking a people-first approach to developing the Kingston Arts Precinct. We have developed the Kingston Arts Precinct Place Brief with the community, arts organisations, and stakeholders, with a focus on public life, to guide future development of the site.

Our future work will be seeking feedback on concept designs. We want to understand what works well, what opportunities exist, and how well the concept designs represent the design principles developed within the Place Brief consultation.

Your feedback on concept designs will help to shape the Kingston Arts Precinct in response to the Arts Organisations spatial placement, Ngunnawal engagement and Designing with Country, and Architecture and Public Realm Design.
