The Concept Precinct Plan has been reviewed with key project stakeholders, and a subdivision design review will be sought from ACT Government agencies soon. SLA and artsACT have collaborated with arts organizations to refine the precinct's design. An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group has been established to guide the design of a future art space. A draft Heritage Interpretation Strategy is under consideration by ACT Heritage. In early 2025, the project outcomes will be presented to the new Government, with plans to lodge the Subdivision Design Application (SDA) by mid-2025.

You can read the full update on the Project Updates page.

Further specific engagement with the community and arts organisations will take place during the appropriate future stages of the design to further develop the precinct design and buildings.

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.
