Summary
Big Splash water park in Jamison is still closed after missing its November opening — another summer lost for Canberrans. The government’s dragging its feet with an “options analysis,” delaying real action while ruling out housing on the land. Operators vanished, blaming vandals, but the lease was a territory agreement with enforceable terms — and the government’s excuse doesn’t hold up. Community leaders, including Greens MLA Jo Clay, demand transparency and are pushing for public ownership — though that’s financially risky. The smarter move? Attract a new private operator with incentives to revitalize the site long-term. Interest is already there — and this report could finally unlock solutions.
