When the ACT’s new planning system commenced in November 2023, an interim Territory Plan came into effect. This was to reflect that the Standing Committee on Planning, Transport and City Services (the Committee) were yet to conduct an inquiry on the plan and associated documents.
From September 2023 to March 2024, the Committee conducted an Inquiry into the Territory Plan.
Following the inquiry process, the ACT Government updated the interim Territory Plan, design guides, technical specifications and development controls to respond to recommendations made by the Committee and internal and external stakeholders.
The final Territory Plan was tabled and passed in the Legislative Assembly on 28 August 2024. It came into effect from 27 September 2024.
