Content Summary:

In 1983 as part of my studies at the ANU I undertook a detailed study of the impact of redevelopment on the suburb of Kingston in the ACT. I had for many years been collecting documents and making observations on the impact of redevelopment in Kingston and I was anxious to produce something that would be of use to other researchers, professionals and the community generally in understanding the impact of redevelopment.

Files 1 and 2 contain the essay I wrote and submitted to the ANU as part of an undergraduate unit in sociology, documentation obtained by the Canberra Times under FOI, details of planning for Section 20, Kingston, details of breaches of lease purpose, and many working papers used to produce the essay/report, including a full set of overhead projector slides of all the maps and tables.

The material was reworked in 1986 and submitted to the PJC on the ACT in the context of their inquiry into the Metropolitan Plan, as one of two submissions. The second submission covered lease administration issues including those arising from the redevelopment of Kingston.
