Simplifying the dual system

As outlined above, at the time of writing, the NCA was reviewing the NCP. An Exposure Draft of the revised NCP was available on the NCA website and the public were invited to register their interest for regular updates on the Exposure Draft.

It is expected the objectives of the revised NCP will:

• maintain the critical role of the National Capital as the seat of government and the Australian Government’s responsibility for that role
• clarify the roles and responsibilities for planning in the ACT between the NCA and ACT government agencies
• revise the format and structure of the NCP to reflect contemporary planning practice and accommodate future planning reform.
