'Do not come': Tasmania takes 'hard-line' position on anyone trying to enter

-
People trying to enter Tasmania via its ferry service will be turned away unless they have a good reason in a move to clamp down on coronavirus cases entering the state.

Premier Peter Gutwein told reporters on Tuesday the measure to stop people boarding the Spirit of Tasmania would be added to its mandatory 14-day quarantine requirement already in place.

“In terms of TT-Line, as of today there is a hard-line position in place that unless you're an essential traveller, or a Tasmanian returning home on the TT-Line, you will not be travelling with us,” Mr Gutwein said in a press conference.

Woden town centre is changing rapidly as high-rise buildings pop up to accommodate a growing population

 Once home to ageing office blocks, an inward-facing shopping centre and sun-baked open-air car parks, Woden town centre is undergoing a personality change. The 2015 master plan for the area, and the promise of an extension to Canberra's light rail, has kickstarted urban infill and a growing culture of apartment living. The population of Phillip — in which the town centre lies — almost doubled from 2016 to 2021, with most of the extra residents living in newly built apartment blocks. But construction in the area is far from over. Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-31/act-woden-town-centre-growing-up-quickly/101388192

Canberra fire: Crews try to control Pierces Creek blaze after alert level reduced last night

The battle to control a bushfire burning in the Brindabella Ranges, west of Canberra, will continue on the ground and in the air today, after the alert level was downgraded from "watch and act" to "advice". A thunderstorm on Friday afternoon had minimal impact on the blaze, which had grown to 175 hectares by Saturday morning, with rain barely reaching the site. The fire started at Pierces Creek on Thursday night, moved fast towards Canberra on Friday, reaching eight kilometres away from the closest suburb of Kambah for most of the day. By 8:00am on Saturday it was seven kilometres from the suburb. The ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) said the fire was still uncontrolled, but there was no immediate danger to the community. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-02/canberra-fire-pierces-creek-blaze-reduced-to-advice-alert-level/10458546

 Canberra's WorkSafe watchdog has warned parents and carers to report any safety concerns at play centres after a boy fell off a rock-climbing structure last weekend. The child's mother, who asked to remain anonymous, said her nine-year-old fell at least 4.5 metres after he was disconnected from his safety harness at the Flip Out centre near Canberra Airport. The boy fell from what the centre calls its "clip and climb" structure, which WorkSafe ACT issued a prohibition notice to temporarily close after the incident. "I saw my son coming towards me with just blood everywhere, coming out all over his face and things," she said.
