Statement of Planning Intent

The Statement of Planning Intent was initiated by the Minister for Planning, Mick Gentleman. It sets out the main planning principles that govern planning and land development across the ACT for the next five years to 2020.

In essence, it will guide the direction of Canberra’s built environment by incorporating current land and development policy with community driven innovation and vibrancy.

The Statement articulates four planning priorities and strongly reflects the key messages heard from the community and stakeholders during extensive workshops and public meetings. The Statement is being implemented by the Environment and Planning Directorate.
