The Apartments // NewActon South
Welcome to
NewActon South
NewActon South is a residential complex housing approximately 180 luxury apartments. It was completed in 2010 and is the showpiece of the developments making up the New Acton precinct. It has sweeping 360 degree views including Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle to the south, and the City and ANU to the north. The New Acton precinct is a vibrant redevelopment of an old part of Canberra, now home to many restaurants and casual eateries, three hotels, and a movie theatre complex.

Building Management
The Executive Committee therefore decided to try other means of counteracting such thoughtless and dangerous behaviour.
-
The speed hump has been removed to stop it disturbing nearby residents.
-
The timing for remote opening of the garage door has been modified.
-
Drivers should stop (at the sign directing this) prior to entering the garage and to then proceed slowly.
Podium Gardens on Level 4
The North Garden is now showing the full benefit of the major refurbishing undertaken in 2014. A few of the original plantings were rescued such as magnolias and camellias but the new plantings are much more suited to the exposure to strong sun and winds. New weeping cherry trees are doing well along with many colourful shrubs. The natural compost tea added to new soils (no chemical fertilizers) and mulching is also showing great results. Many thanks to Corporate Gardens for their ongoing work.
Spend some free time to enjoy the gardens. Some recent Spring photos of the Podium Gardens are here, and earlier Autumn photos here.
