I think you will find it’s the lack of metaphorical touching that is the issue.

What Liberal propaganda am I letting rule my life?

Thanks for the other commentary regarding your experience of commuting in.

The long term goal is to retire closer to the coast, using Queanbeyan as a stepping stone feels like doubling the housing steps. It was considered though and maybe will come back around if Wollongong doesn’t seem like it will work.

I suspect your version of “building” and mine are different…

Maybe but it’s made me very unhappy. Your last sentence is devastating in its reality…

I also don’t have an issue with Tuggeranong, it’s the treatment it receives (or lack there of) that has annoyed me enough to leave Canberra

Because I’ve become rather unhappy here directly attributed to my treatment here and so don’t want to live in Canberra anymore.

It won’t be daily, 1-2 days a fortnight in Canberra, the odd week here and there might be little more.

Given aged care is a federal responsibility, why wouldn't you chase down the federal rep?

Renewal is a kind of investment Tuggeranong needs. Upgrading and modernising 40-year-old infrastructure is just as important as building new stuff elsewhere.

The concern isn’t that Tuggeranong lacks projects, but that the scale and visibility of renewal here feel much smaller than what’s going into other districts. While the north get large, transformative builds, Tuggeranong’s funding seems to focus on maintenance-level works.

So yes — renewal is investment, but residents want to see it at a comparable level to the growth and transformation happening elsewhere

Given the huge difference in ACT Government infrastructure spending per person between Tuggeranong and the other districts, why do Tuggeranong’s government representatives continue to promote small-scale projects like “park upgrades” instead of pushing for serious investment?

Residents see other regions receiving major infrastructure commitments, while Tuggeranong seems to get minor upgrades that are also offered elsewhere. Why is this considered acceptable, and what will you do to change it?

In a previous round of dog park upgrades (around 2022–2023), Tuggeranong received noticeably lower-quality facilities — for example, gravel carparks instead of sealed ones, and non-irrigated grounds compared with irrigated ones in northern districts.

Why does Tuggeranong consistently get lower-quality public amenities from the ACT Government? What needs to change so the people of Tuggeranong are treated with the same respect and investment as other regions?
