Sydney - Canberra Corridor Strategy
Last modified: November 26, 2009 - 10:32 AM
This strategy has been prepared by the NSW Government, and is a 25-year land-use strategy to 2031 which aims to:
- Provide up to 25,200 new homes for the 46,350 additional people expected to be living in the region by 2031.
- Increase the amount of housing within existing centres and the choice of housing for smaller households and an ageing population.
- Manage the environmental impact of settlement by focusing new urban development in the major regional centres of Bowral, Goulburn and Queanbeyan.
- Ensure an adequate supply of land to support economic growth and provide for the projected 27,800 new jobs that will needed, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, transport and logistics, business services, health, aged care and tourism.
- Protect important primary industry resources, water resources, environmental diversity, scenery and heritage, which give the region its character and potential.
The strategy will guide local planning in the six local government areas of Wingecarribee, Goulburn Mulwaree, Upper Lachlan, Yass Valley, Palerang and Queanbeyan. The regional strategy also recognises the importance of working cooperatively with the ACT and represents the NSW Government's position on settlement within the cross-border region.
You can find out more about this strategy at the NSW Planning Website.
