Redevelopment of 33 Hutchins Street and 39 Bentham Street
Adjacent to Yarralumla shops, prior to 2012 the original cottages on this site were heritage listed. They were built in the 1920’s as housing for workers at the Canberra Brickworks and Nursery. Unfortunately, these dwellings have been lost. The site became inactive in 2012 when work under the previous DA was stopped by the ACT Government as approval had lapsed. The new DA for the site DA202036734, lodged on 5 August 2020, has been granted several extensions. The current extension expires on 9 September 2026.
