Telstra Tower’s revitalisation is a step closer, with the ACT Government signing a Heads of Agreement with the telco company that paves the way for the next stage of planning and development.

The agreement establishes the framework for the government and Telstra to undertake the detailed planning, design, costing and operational work needed to inform final decisions on the project.

This includes visitor experiences, community spaces and supporting infrastructure.

Earlier, the National Capital Authority granted conditional works approval for the Tower, including approval for a change of use and key design elements. 

Together, these milestones provide a pathway towards the objective of reopening the Tower to the public in the summer of 2027/2028, subject to the completion of detailed planning, approvals and delivery milestones.
