Plan for the new Belconnen Markets Precinct

The Rock Development Group’s redevelopment at the Belconnen Markets will create a vibrant new precinct, right in the heart of Belconnen.

Using previously vacant land behind the existing markets on Belconnen Way and Benjamin Way, five new buildings will be created with office, retail and residential spaces. New cafes, restaurants, retail outlets, parkland, offices and apartments will be centred on a refurbished Belconnen Fresh Food Markets to create a lively precinct where people can come to live, work, meet and play.

The precinct will include leading environmental sustainability technologies including electric vehicle plug in points, large scale solar microgeneration systems, geothermal heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, integrated rainwater and waste water management systems and precinct wide energy management systems.

Everything will be at your fingertips at the new precinct and with an energetic community atmosphere. Retail spaces will open onto communal spaces and parkland, cafes and restaurants will provide alfresco dining opportunities. Shared social and active spaces will include bbq areas, communal vegetable gardens, rooftop gardens and sporting facilities.
