Does this mean more development and more houses in the area?

There has been no Government decision made as to whether any development will proceed in the WEIA.

These are preliminary investigations into the Western Edge to assess the suitability of the area for future development to inform future Government decisions. Commonwealth and ACT statutory rezoning and environmental approval processes are not part of the current two-year program of investigations. These approvals would be required in the future before any land use change could occur in the Western Edge area.
