We are looking at:

Canberra is known for its generous green spaces and beautiful parks. Haig Park is in the heart of our city and a great example of our city’s wonderful public open space. It’s a heritage-listed urban forest linking the city’s business and retail centre and the growing and changing inner north residential suburbs.

It’s important to preserve and enhance these spaces in our changing and expanding city. In its current state, Haig Park is underused, perceived as unsafe and doesn't meet the needs of the Canberra community in 2018 and beyond.

The ACT Government and City Renewal Authority recognise the importance and potential of Haig Park and are committed to improving the park so we can all enjoy it while ensuring any changes respect and recognise its heritage value and role as a city park and urban forest.
