National Capital Plan Draft Amendment 99 – Molonglo Town Centre
The National Capital Authority (NCA) invites community views on a proposed amendment to the National Capital Plan to reclassify the Molonglo Valley as Canberra’s sixth Town Centre.
National Capital Plan Draft Amendment 99 will support ACT Government planning for the ongoing development of the Molonglo Valley, which is expected to accommodate 70,000 people by 2050.
The proposed amendment recognises that the population of the Molonglo Valley when complete will result in additional demand for services and amenities and warrant a Town Centre to serve as the main commercial hub for the district.
National Capital Plan Draft Amendment 99 is being advanced after a request from the ACT Government to identify a Town Centre at Molonglo. Town Centres are larger in size than Group or Local Centres and provide a wider range of commercial services, offices and other facilities.
Submissions can be made via email to draftamendment@nca.gov.au, by mail to GPO Box 373, Canberra ACT 2600, or hand delivered to the Treasury Building, King Edward Terrace, Parkes ACT 2600. The NCA welcomes feedback on DA99 by 5:00pm Tuesday 25 June 2024.
Visit the NCA website at www.nca.gov.au for further information about the amendment, the consultation process and how to have your say.
