Two of the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate's legislated responsibilities and functions are to:
- ensure community consultation and participation in planning decisions, and
- promote public education and understanding of the planning process, including easily accessible public information and documentation on planning and land use.
We are committed to the principles of Open Government, which means:
- transparency in process and information
- participation by citizens in the governing process
- public collaboration in finding solutions to problems and participation in the improved well-being of the community
We engage with the ACT community in many ways, not only to meet statutory requirements but because we seek to ensure strategic planning and policy development recognises and responds to the views, concerns and aspirations of the broader community.
Some of the ways we keep you informed include:
- the Planning website and Environment website
- the YourSay website
- advertisements in The Canberra Times and The Chronicle
- media releases
- letterbox drops
- public meetings, forums, workshops and summits
- displays in shopping centres, libraries and our Customer Service Centre
- Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
In this section

- Boards, Councils, Committees, Panels and other bodies
- Development applications open for public comment
- Pre DA consultations
- The public register - development applications, approvals and compliance orders
