ACT Policing has decided to close the temporary Front Office facility located at Gungahlin Police Station.

Police set up the facility on 6 March in response to lead and diesel contamination at the Gungahlin Joint Emergency Services Centre.

“While every effort was made to provide a safe, secure, and workable office presence in Gungahlin, issues have since been identified that have not been able to be satisfactorily resolved,” a spokesperson said.

Those issues dealt with safety, security, and workability of the site.

“At this stage, it is unclear if another temporary facility will open, with alternatives currently being assessed.”

Those alternatives will need to address the aforesaid issues.

Police attached to Gungahlin Police Station will continue to begin and end their shifts at the former ACT Policing Traffic Operations Centre in Belconnen. 

Members of the community who have bail reporting obligations should attend Belconnen Police Station.

Otherwise, they can use the intercom system at the front of Gungahlin Station; this has high-definition CCTV, and can be monitored live. If they do so, they should have a form of identification readily available, such as a driver’s licence, proof of age card, or passport.
