Project status: Closed
Community consultation on the North Curtin Residential Area has now closed.
Between 30 April and 18 June, the community were invited to have their say on early planning for a new residential development located in the North Curtin area.
The summary of feedback heard throughout the engagement period is currently being analysed and a Listening Report is being developed. The feedback and insights helped inform the preparation of the draft Conditions of Planning, Design and Development (Planning Conditions).
How you had YourSay
Feedback was provided in person, and online, through the activities listed below:

We are looking at
Planning is in the early stages and aims is to address the needs of Canberra's expanding population whilst creating a new neighbourhood, where people can live close to existing employment, transport, education, and recreational opportunities in the Woden District.
The North Curtin Residential Area is zoned for Residential development in the National Capital Plan, and will provide a variety of housing options to support the projected population growth in Canberra.
Early planning will inform the draft Detailed Conditions of Planning, Design and Development (Planning Conditions) and demonstrate possible approaches to future develop which would potentially achieve approximately 1300 homes, provide local open spaces and connections to the surrounding areas.
Indicative concept only
Your insights and perspectives will help us to finalise the draft Planning Conditions for endorsement by the National Capital Authority (NCA). Future development applications for the site will be assessed against the final Development Controls.
To promote sustainability and a positive impact on the local community, potential future residents, neighbours, broader community and First Nations stakeholders are invited to have their say in the early-stage planning process.
We will use your views to
Your feedback and ideas contributed to the finalisation of the draft Planning Conditions for the North Curtin Residential Area.
The Planning Conditions will set out the principles that will guide future development on the ACT land closest to Yarra Glen and will cover aspects such as urban design, landscape design, built form, access and design quality.
The finalised draft Planning Conditions will be lodged with the NCA for final endorsement, and will be a complimentary document to the National Capital Plan for the site. All future development in the North Curtin Residential Area will be assessed against the endorsed Planning Conditions by the NCA for approval.
What we sought your input on
We asked for your feedback on specific principles of the Draft Planning Conditions.
We wanted to hear your thoughts about the proposed:
- The variety and size of housing types,
- Type and scale of public open spaces,
- Landscape design options,
- Opportunities for supporting land uses within the residential area, such as cafes, small scale retail and community facilities,
- Planning for sustainability and climate resilience, and
