DPA-A proposed zones and planning provisions to deliver urban intensification and regeneration of The Causeway Area and enable additional housing supply in the inner south. This was to contribute to a compact city by increasing the residential population within the established and well-connected suburb of Kingston by allowing mixed use development.

The amendment was proposed to enable the development of a range of housing typologies, new community facilities and open spaces which will attract a diverse and active community.

The proposed provisions in DPA-A valued the existing community facilities by integrating Cargill's Cottage and the heritage listed Causeway Hall as part of the area and provide a sensitive interface with the Jerrabomberra Wetlands.

Status - Withdrawn

After DPA-A was recommended to the Minister for Planning in June 2024, the Minister referred it and the associated documents to the Legislative Assembly standing committee responsible for planning to determine if it will undertake an inquiry.

On 20 June 2024, the Standing Committee advised it will not undertake an inquiry on DPA-A.

Following this, the Minister decided to withdraw DPA-A because it was incorporated as part of the amended Territory Plan which passed through the Legislative Assembly on 28 August 2024. The amended Territory Plan commenced on 27 September 2024.
