  • Of that majority 87% answered they though the playground was in need of some maintenance.

I will be regularly holding community surveys for other suburbs of Murrumbidgee. If you, your friends or family live somewhere in Woden, Weston Creek or the Molonglo Valley I highly encourage signing up to my regular(-ish!) e-newsletter and following my Facebook page for the latest news.

 

As always if you have any queries, questions or concerns you can contact me anytime by emailing me at [email protected] or calling my office on 6205 1448.

 

I look forward to working with residents to ensure that Murrumbidgee remains the best place in Canberra to live.
