New convention centre, stadium upgrade, hop-on hop-off bus recommended as ways to improve Canberra's standing on the world stage

A new convention centre, stadium upgrade, and a hop-on-hop-off bus have been put forward by a federal inquiry as ways to improve the Australian national capital's standing on the world stage. The federal government should work with the ACT government to upgrade Canberra's stadium infrastructure, Ms Payne said, to ensure facilities support international and national sporting events, including greater spectator comfort and capacity. David Pocock says Canberra not receiving enough funding ACT independent senator David Pocock also served on the committee and said there was a "significant and widespread need" for federal government investment in Canberra. "Canberra remains the least-known capital city in the developed world and we receive a disproportionately low amount of federal government investment," he said.
