The district strategies link city-wide planning, policies and legislation to the local outcomes in the Territory Plan.
The key functions of the district strategies are connected to the objectives of the Territory Plan. They are to:
- set future directions for each of Canberra's districts.
- provide a guide for implementing the ACT Planning Strategy at a district level. This includes guidance on possible areas of growth based on how close it is to services, jobs, and transport. This then informs the district policies that sit in the new Territory Plan
- inform future plans of physical and community infrastructure, major developments and rezoning proposals
- inform detailed precinct and site planning.
- help coordinate infrastructure, transport, planning, climate change and living infrastructure strategies and delivery of initiatives at a district level.
Proposals for Territory Plan amendments will need demonstrate consistency with the relevant district strategy. This is especially the case for the five drivers and associated initiatives.
