Woden town centre is changing rapidly, with major construction on almost every corner

Clubs join the development charge

The Southern Cross Club, on the town centre's southern side, has more modest plans for its venue — it hopes to add outdoor street-facing dining areas.The Southern Cross Club owns "section 79" next to the town centre's main roundabout. While planning rules ensure that the site will retain the current 370 car parking spots, as well as residential parking, and the developer will create a public park on Mathilda Street, parking during construction for those who live and work in Woden is sure to be challenging.Some who live in the Woden valley have been calling for a face lift for the town centre for years. Nonetheless, others say this new density is coming at the cost of residents' access to facilities.

Col and Michelle Tulley live on The Ivy's top floor after they downsized from a house in Tuggeranong."It's a great community we live in, the people are wonderful, the whole thing has been a great experience," Mr Tulley said.Despite having grown up in a much lower density Woden, Mrs Tulley favours the town centre's new look.
