Peters Wine Shop
Peter is Peter Dietsch, and his new shop is a welcome addition to our community precinct. He is keen to embrace the Downer locals, and the locals are keen to have him here. Peter has worked in retail and hospitality for more than 40 years. He has also written wine columns for newspapers, and he has run wine appreciation courses. He says his happiest times regularly involve the sharing of good food and good wine with good people.
His shop motto is "Wine for your life, and more great things to drink..." You'll find plenty of Canberra district wines, including some from a vineyard which is owned by a long-time Downer resident, and there's a brilliant new gin being made by someone who still lives in our wonderful suburb!

The Village Vet Hospital is now open for business. It is run by veterinary couple, Damien Solley and Amanda Keast, who met while studying Veterinary Science at Sydney University. The design features of the new hospital include:
- Separate dog and cat waiting areas, consultation rooms and patient wards
- Acoustically rated walls and doors
- Daylit areas for patients (Vitamin D is just as important for their health as it is for ours!)
- Dimmable lighting in wards and exam rooms
- Acoustically lined air conditioning ducts to reduce noise (cats & dogs hear frequencies we can’t)
- Flat, slip-free scales for cats and dogs
- A fear-free colour palette (dogs & cats do see in colour, but on a different spectrum to us).
