A development application lodged this week proposes two 24-storey residential towers on the Emu Bank waterfront, replacing a low-rise commercial block opposite Lake Ginninderra College.
The proposal includes 412 apartments, 1,800 square metres of ground-floor retail, and a publicly accessible foreshore promenade. Submissions close 14 July.
Belconnen Community Council chair Lin Park said the group supported density near transport but wanted firmer commitments on the promised community space.
The long-promised town heart for Canberra's newest district moves a step closer.
