The Spatial Plan evaluation
The Spatial Plan
The Canberra Spatial Plan (Spatial Plan) is the Australian Capital Territory’s key strategic planning document, designed to ‘provide clear strategic directions for the development of Canberra over the next 30 years and beyond.’ It reflects the values and aspirations of the community, guides the use of resources and the needs for infrastructure, and informs both the National Capital Plan and the Territory Plan.
The Spatial Plan looks at the key urban development issues facing Canberra, within its ACT and regional context, and describes a strategic direction to address issues that have geographical or spatial dimension. It directs and manages urban growth with the flexibility required to respond to change.
The 2004 Spatial Plan was prepared by ACTPLA in consultation with the wider Canberra community and key ACT government agencies.
The plan is currently being evaluated.
A series of community engagements will follow government consideration of the Spatial Plan evaluation and the outcomes of the "Canberra 2030 Time to Talk" program in early 2011.
