Ms Julie McKay:
Close
down Anzac Parade for a night, and have a black tie dinner under the
stars, fully catered, sit down meal. Similar function has been
held in Brisbane on the Goodwill bridge. Great fundraiser, and a
fantastic photo opportunity
Ms Sarah Steed:
"Canberra
Rocks" festival featuring music performers for all ages/music interests
(kids/adults). Canberra misses out lots of big name acts, and
local kids can only attend events like Big Day Out if they can go
interstate or down the coast. Week long series.
Mr Nicholas Pinter:
The
construction of a wave pool complex that is part of the Lake Burley
Griffin would be a great gift to all Canberrans. Bring the “surf” to
Canberra, instead of Canberra going to the surf.
Mr Mark Will:
Canberra
Centenary Three Peaks Run. Each year leading up to 2013 (or just
in 2013) a run starting from Black Mountain Peninsula taking in (and
up) Black Mountain, Mt Ainslie, Mt Pleasant and finishing at the lake
to challenge runners from not only the ACT.
Mr Peter Huta:
100
Canberra Places: Assign 100 locations around Canberra as 100
Places of significance, each to be assigned a permanent marker/beacon
and marked on future tourist maps.
Mrs Pat Darlington:
If
Ngunnawal people agree, host an Indigenous festival featuring dance and
music from across Australia. Similar to the Garma, Yeeperenye, Sydney
Dreaming and Kaju (Jindabyne 2002) festivals. This is essential
for reconciliation and for Canberra to move forward.
Mrs Julia Bosel:
A
raft race across Lake Burley Griffin, where prizes are given for the
best raft, the best dressed raft and crew, as well as first, second and
third prize winners.
Mrs Jennifer Phillips:
Need
a centre for digital art/media, could be much more than Melbourne's
Centre for the Moving Image. Need a 'gallery' that displays
digital art, interactive happenings, animations, maybe a lab of
interactive games, simulations for visitors to tour.
Mrs Lee Greenough:
As
centenary birthday gift to resident lease-holders, all domestic leases
to be given a 100-year extension. Change-of-lease to reverts back
to original lease term.

Karla Dodt, 6, Florey Primary School
I
think we should have a big party with lollies and fireworks and each
child should get a book about Canberra to take home. Everything
should be free so that even families with no money can enjoy Canberra’s
Birthday.

Samantha Bobba, 14, Lyneham High School
We
should have a huge celebration at Commonwealth Park with activities
about Canberra’s history for families, and everyone in Canberra should
help create a Centenary mural in the park. Canberra’s heroes
should be acknowledged and at night there should be the greatest
fireworks ever, flags and banners are also important! |
