Woden Micro Residencies - Applications close 30 May 2023 Tuggeranong Arts Centre, as part of its Woden Arts Program and in conjunction with the Woden Community Council is offering Quick Response Micro Residences of up to $1,000. The residencies are intended to support the creative endeavours of independent professional practising artists across all art forms, arts collectives or groups. Designed to activate Lovett Tower (and the Woden Town Square) this is an opportunity for artists to think creatively, to showcase their artistic practice and to work with the Woden community. A final public outcome is not required, but the space needs to be occupied and activated – by working in the space, using the internal room as a canvas, or creating something in the Woden Town Square. The successful artist will share the space in Lovett Tower with Woden Community Council. It is also an opportunity to engage with the Woden community – applications that include this community engagement will be looked at favourably. Collaborations and multi-artform proposals are also encouraged. Residencies will take place for 2 weeks and artists will need to commit to spending at least 4 hours in the space per day for 5 days of the week.

Always seeking to create and to be inspired, I find doing art greatly therapeutic and am grateful to be able to do it everyday. Venturing more into oil paintings of galaxies, I aim to infuse a little bit of the universe into everyone’s homes. Art has been a huge part of my life and I never know what else I would be doing if not creating more art. I hope to continue doing art for as long as I am able to as it brings so much joy to me and I hope it does the same to those who look at them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/b164d4ad-bf4a-457e-be66-bd5585808b6c/Lou.jpg Events and Public Meetings - Creative Woden - Exhibiting southside artists - Louise Cooke - Louisecooke2016 Louise is a nature inspired mixed media artist.

She has called Canberra home for 13 years. She has rediscovered her love for screen printing, which she studied at UTS in a Bachelor of Design. Instead of fabric it is now paper, ‘I love the sound of the squeegee pushing the ink through the screen onto the paper.... I was meant to be a printmaker.’ Another development is minimalism, especially in the palette knife oil paintings. ‘I love painting with the palette knife, making ripples - just like icing a cake.’ Her collages have also become more abstract and minimal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/ca0eca8e-6c11-44f9-b81e-4e3705ac7313/Cath.jpg Events and Public Meetings - Creative Woden - Exhibiting southside artists - Cath Sutton Cath Sutton is a fluid acrylic artist specialising in abstract art, pouring paint on many different surfaces – canvass, ceramic, wooden art boards and glass.

It was a great experiment in decentralised urban planning, prompted by the transfer of large numbers of Commonwealth public servants from Melbourne. The first buildings built for Commonwealth public servants were the Sirius Building and Alexander and Albemarle. The new towns were intended to be thriving, relatively self-contained centres, providing employment opportunities, housing, businesses and shops, schools, sports fields, services and community facilities for the growing population.

The ice skating is moving to Tuggeranong and the pool is likely to close permanently at that stage. Phillip Oval is locked so the squash courts are the only accessible facility left. Public (green) Spaces - the town square has been zoned for 28 storey towers around its perimeter which will cause unacceptable overshadowing and exacerbate the wind. We have lost (or will lose) the pitch n putt, A&A courtyards and the Athllon Drive corridor. Service Trades Living Precinct (purple) - to date we have lost the Magnet Mart (and garden centre) and we expect more businesses will move as apartments are developed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/b2772c52-cc04-4961-baf8-31b76766578c/Woden_Master_Plan-web+with+towers+-+June+21.jpg Planning Zoning - updated in 2018 Woden’s zoning is a blunt instrument - a building hierarchy which means the towers increase in height towards the centre reaching 28 storeys around the perimeter of the Town Square (shown in green). There is no consideration of the building heights required to allow sun into public spaces. Community facilities were not identified. We have over 30 towers at different stages of planning and construction. At an average of 2 people per apartment this equates to over 10,000 people. There are more towers to come. The development of residential towers to date Unfortunately the zoning for the town centre is a very blunt instrument to facilitate residential densification. It is a building heirarchy with towers getting taller towards the centre. The plan has anomolies and is no longer followed: the town square is the central focal point however its perimiter is zoned for 28 storeys the recreaation precinct in the north is now primarily residential towers We are concerned that Woden’s spatial plan includes ‘Living Precincts’ across the Town Centre that has led to the loss of community facilities and public spaces. The Phillip Service area is also at risk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/e46b5de5-df71-45da-b58f-9f1bfb508169/7+Active+fronts+map+-+Territory+Plan.jpg Planning Active streets and al fresco dining This diagram is from the Territory Plan - the law. The grey areas show where should be active fronts. It was refreshing to hear Westfield say they would turn outwards as they have with Bradley Street near Hoyts. We would like to see them activate their sunny side of the town square. We would also like the Hellenic Club and the Southern Cross Club to open onto the streets and bring activity and life to the public realm rather than internalising the people. Note, the text on this diagram includes recreation facilities however there are none identified. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/1648895822405-SL6V9KAOH39NYLA354IE/2.+Gap+analysis+.png Planning Facilities should be equitably distributed The loss of facilities in Woden has led to an inequitable distribution of public investment in community assets. Canberra was designed to have community facilities in the town centres that service their catchments and are accessible by public transport from around their catchment - reducing the use of cars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624449e1a96eca49c674e5a7/1659022135625-PLOMXCL3V99R40YF67PA/Amp+It+Up+grants+-+2022.png Planning Impacts Without facilities and active streets (aka ‘vibe’) it is difficult to attract activity. The objective of the ‘Amp it Up’ grants is to support the live performance art industry following the impacts of COVID-19. Unfortunately we did not receive any grants for live performances due to limited live music venues in the south. A facility like the Street Theatre would be terrific.nce. https://wvcc.org.au/small-grants-scheme-2025 daily 0.75 2025-04-19
