It promises to be wet and humid today, so maybe more time to sit and read the news - which is dominated today by property and redevelopment in the ACT.
Changes proposed for Gungahlin
A large chunk of Gungahlin's community services could be moved away from the town centre, while apartments could rise up to 14 storeys in its urban zone and up to 10 storeys along the light rail route under proposed changes.

Chris Dutton has the full story of a hopeful development.
