Tuggeranong and Erindale Masterplan

I launched the Tuggeranong and Erindale centres planning project on 13 November 2010 with a community workshop at Erindale College.

This project aims to establish how the Tuggeranong and Erindale centres can continue to develop to meet the needs of the local and wider community to be safe, economically viable and sustainable.

The project will culminate in a master plan for each centre. The master plans will be non-statutory documents that outline a vision to guide growth and development for each centre over the next 20-30 years.

The Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD - formerly ACTPLA) is working closely with other government directorates, specialist consultants and an expert reference group of planners and designers to inform the work.

ESDD is also engaging with residents, community groups, lessees, local businesses owners and young people, who have contributed new ideas, identified issues with the centres and gained a sense of ownership of the outcomes.

The future of the Tuggeranong centre, the Erindale centre and the main road corridor linking them (Erindale Drive) is being considered holistically in terms of land use, traffic, parking, transport, environment, aesthetics, economic viability and growth, and health and wellbeing.

When the master plan is finalised, it will be possible to do some things fairly quickly, such as release of Territory owned land where it is deemed appropriate. Other things, such as changes to the Territory Plan, will take longer.

You can make comments on the draft Tuggeranong town centre master plan and the draft Erindale centre master plan by:

Comments can be made until Friday 17 February 2012.

All comments will be taken into consideration when revising the master plan. The revised master plan will be considered by the ACT Government in early 2012. If adopted, implementation of the master plan can commence.
