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.
