Canberra Chamber proposes inner city tourist terminal with rooftop heliport
Canberra Chamber of Commerce urges the National Capital Development Commission to designate the former Canberra police station site on Northbourne Avenue and Alinga Street for a multi storey tourist terminal. The planned complex would include offices, shops, lounges, changing facilities, a bus dock, coffee lounge, restaurant, and a 24 hour seven day operation. The building would house travel agents and a headquarters for the ACT Tourist Bureau, with office space to attract rival enterprises and support a complete tourist facility near city hotels.
