What action do Canberrans want our five MPs (MHRs and Senators) to take in 2026?

Be part of deciding. 

CAPaD is offering the chance to have a conversation with them about that. How do we, the people, make sure we are really heard, acknowledged, and not just listened to?

The first step, on December 14, is where we will introduce you to Pol.is.  Pol.is is a tool that helps communities collect and prioritise ideas. 

Part 2 is in March when we will bring Canberrans and our MPs together for the conversation. 

Key dates times and places

1. December 14 – 1400 (2pm) Woden Valley (formerly St James) Uniting Church, Gillies Street, Curtin

2. March 1 – 1400 (2pm), venue tba.

Canberra by Bike event

This bike party celebrates the music of British rock giants Dire Straits (1977-1995), which was led by guitarist and singer songwriter, Mark Knopfler.

Their debut album, Dire Straits was recorded at Basing Street Studios in London from 13 February to 5 March 1978, and included the hit single, Sultans of Swing. The album was released on 9 June 1978.
Dire Straits sold more than 120 million albums, including Communiqué, Brothers in Arms, and On Every Street. Their hit singles include Money for Nothing and Calling Elvis.

As always, you choose the songs for our bike parties playlists, so let me know what Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler tracks to play.

Our bike parties are slow, social rides around a set route. The idea is to promote social connections and being outside, so you turn up on your cycle/scooter/skates, and we'll take care of the rest.

You must bring your own lights, and have a plan if you get a flat tyre or other mechanical fault. Bring something warm in case it gets windy by the lake.

This route is one loop around Lake Ginninderra, approx. 7km. It's mostly flat and is on shared paths. There are inclines approaching the Lake Ginninderra bridge.

Grab your maracas and join our celebration of the Boy from Oz, Peter Allen, for what should have been his 82nd birthday.

Bring anyone you know who loves Peter Allen's songs or has yet to experience them, and join us for a joyful, slow, social ride from the Street Theatre to see the National Triangle differently.

We head clockwise around the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin, stopping at the Jetty on the south bank for refreshments, then stop at Lindy Lee's Ouroboros sculpture at the National Gallery of Australia before returning at the Street. Give us your song requests and we'll blast them from our Partybox speaker we carry on our cargo bike.

We welcome all people on all cycles and scooters. The route is about 7km, is mostly flat (save for the Commonwealth Ave and Kings Ave bridge approaches), and there are toilets at multiple locations along the way.

Please bring your own lights, and something warm to wear as it's usually cold around the lake after sunset.

Canberra City Farm event

Now in its second year, this group meets on the first Sunday of the month to explore the nature of regenerative cultures and their relationship to regenerative agriculture. We will share all things regenerative, from big ideas to voices of hope to plates of food and personal friendships. Strap yourselves in for a collaborative and group-directed journey into the metacrisis, a change of paradigms, a decolonisation of the mind and how to create the conditions for life to thrive. Our inquiries go wherever our participants take us as we explore the ideas and practices of regenerative agriculture. A bit like a book group, but videos, podcasts and other media also included. A wonderful forum for those who like to explore the big questions, regenerate their own thinking and listen to and learn from each other and the planet.

The duration of each session will be between two and three hours and will include a shared lunch or afternoon tea. New participants are welcome. Contact info@ccfarm.org.au for more information.
