Interesting Facts;
The Fisher housing project won the C S Daley Medal of 1971 awarded by the ACT Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA).
Architects for the Fisher housing project were from the prominent Perth practice of Cameron Chisholm and Nicol, Engineers were Scott and Furphy and the Builder was JJ Marr Homes Pty Ltd.
The 1970s saw much experimentation in the field of suburban planning in Canberra, under the auspices of the NCDC (Tanner 1976).
Questions were being raised about the very wasteful land consumption of the individual house and acceptable alternatives were being sought to the three bedroom/two bathroom/double garage/plus garden house, which had become the norm in Canberra (Tanner 1976). The growth of Canberra in the latter half of the 20th century resulted in the development of the Y Plan by the NCDC. The new suburbs designed by the NCDC were often based on Radburn planning, with the segregation of traffic and pedestrians; with parkland or nature reserves linking the residential blocks with shops and schools, often passing under or bridging the roads.
