Tuggeranong Town Centre is the town centre of the district of Tuggeranong in the Australian Capital Territory. It is located on the south-western side of Lake Tuggeranong and composed of a large two-storey mall called South.Point Tuggeranong, as well as smaller shopping complexes, the Homeworld, and Tuggeranong Shopping Square, and many other buildings and shops. It is also the location of the Tuggeranong Interchange, a youth centre, a bowling alley, Tuggeranong Skate Park, the Tuggeranong Arts Centre and Lake Tuggeranong College. Much of its architecture is noticeably Postmodern, infused with classical features such as prominent red roofs and a clock tower, as well as distinctive features such as one large round window each on most sides of the library.
History
editIn the 1970s the National Capital Development Commission recommended that the service trades area of the Tuggeranong Town Centre and Mitchell be given priority over Jerrabomberra and West Belconnen.[1] Preliminary work on the Tuggeranong Town Centre was done by architect Dirk Bolt.
