Key works include Indian Houses, Motors premises at Kingston, Yarralumla and North Ainslie schools, Deakin High School, and the Australian National University campus facilities.

Planning Woden Valley growth and housing needs described
The document outlines Canberra’s population rise to 95 000 with a projected increase of 40 000 in five years, most of it new arrivals. It estimates 9 percent will need separate housing, averaging 4.13 people per home, and projects about 8 700 houses by 1970 to meet demand. Private investment on leasehold land and Commission land servicing are discussed, with Woden Valley’s development as a focal point including 448 residential blocks, a primary school, shopping centres, parks, and necessary utilities. Current 1965 Commission housing contracts total about 11 million dollars, with over 70 new homes built annually and ongoing road, water, sewer, and public amenity projects as suburbs near occupation.
