Consultation and information
Common sources of planning information and statutory and non-statutory consultation
Two of the ACT Planning and Land Authority’s legislated roles and functions are to ensure community consultation and participation in planning decisions and to promote public education and understanding of the planning process, including by providing easily accessible public information and documentation on planning and land use.
We engage with the ACT community in many ways, sometimes to meet statutory requirements, but also because we seek to ensure that strategic planning and policy development recognises and responds to the views, concerns and aspirations of the broader community.
A combination of Commonwealth and ACT legislation governs planning in the ACT.
Common sources of information
Some of the sources of information on planning and development activities and any associated consultation processes are:
- advertisements in The Canberra Times and The Chronicle;
- media releases from the Minister for Planning or the Authority which result in articles in local newspapers;
- letterbox drops to residents;
- public meetings, forums, workshops and summits organised by the Authority or arranged through stakeholder groups;
- site displays in shopping centres, libraries and the Authority's Dickson Customer Service Centre; and
- this web site.
Consultation activities are promoted in the programs and projects consultation section of this web site.
