ACTPLA (ACT Planning and Land Authority) presented last Thursday 12 August, on the Eastern Broadacre Planning Project.
More details are available from ACTPLA’s website: ACTPLA’s webpage on the Eastern Broadacre Planning Project

The Eastern Broadacre Study covers the future development of the eastern half of the ACT from Hume in the south to Majura in the north inlcuding Symonston and the Jerrabomberra Valley. This large area has been identified as a future employment corridor with the development of light industrial, commercial, tourist and transport related activities.

The TCC believes the Eastern Broadacre Study has major implications for the Tuggeranong Valley.
