The Canberra Spatial Plan



The Canberra Spatial Plan outlines a strategic direction that will help manage change and provide for growth to achieve the social, environmental and economic sustainability of Canberra. Under the umbrella of The Canberra Plan, it forms part of a comprehensive, integrated strategic plan for Canberra’s future. The Canberra Spatial Plan reflects the community’s aspirations for the future of the city and its setting.

Purpose of the Canberra Spatial Plan
The purpose of The Canberra Spatial Plan is to provide clear strategic directions for the development of Canberra over the next 30 years and beyond, but with the flexibility required to respond to change. It is the Territory’s key strategic planning document for directing and managing urban growth and change.

With its focus on spatial planning – how we use space (the land and environs of the ACT) and manage competing demands for space – it will ensure that Canberra can achieve a more sustainable, prosperous and equitable future.

Based on community aspirations and detailed planning analysis, it provides a Canberra-wide context within which neighborhood and district planning policies can be set. It maps a course of short, medium and long term actions to support the strategic approach to the key urban development issues facing Canberra. It helps to improve understanding of and response to issues and implications that have geographical or physical and spatial dimensions. The policies provide a clear framework within which all of the stakeholders in Canberra’s future can plan their own activities to best effect.
