Redevelopment of the Australian Forestry School/ CSIRO site, Yarraluma

As advised in the IFA/AFG e-news of 13 March 2020, the owners of the CSIRO/ former Australian Forestry School site at Yarralumla are planning to redevelop the site when CSIRO vacates it, expected to be in 2022. Developer Oakstand Property Group are conducting stakeholder and community consultation about their proposed “Forestry Place ” development. ACT & Region members are engaging constructively with the developers and other stakeholders. We’ll provide updates here.

Key resources about the site and its values:
