Develop more robust mechanisms for calculating and monitoring the developers’ and builders’ pipeline and distinguish between the greenfields and redevelopment pipelines.

A Chief Executives Steering Group on Land Supply has been established with representatives from the Chief Minister’s Department, the LDA, the ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA), and Treasury.

Procedures have been reviewed to ensure the pipeline can be more rigorously measured and monitored. Closer links with industry are also being developed so that changes in demand and supply can be more readily identified.

In addition to the planning pipeline, adopt a four year builders’ and developers’ pipeline (one year builders’ and three year developers’) maintaining inventory on the shelf at each stage of the pipeline to improve responsiveness.

An inventory of serviced land has been developed.

Concept Plans have been approved for Ngunnawal 2c (475 dwelling units), Flemington Road (1,225 dwelling units), Jacka (approximately 1,500 dwelling units) and Moncrieff (approximately 1,800 dwelling units). The planning ready land bank is currently 1,100 dwellings.

Land is now available over-the-counter. Increased emphasis is being given to the preparation and approval of Estate Development Plans ahead of demand.

Add an additional inventory to the pipeline of approved Estate Development Plans (EDPs) accounting for 8 to 12 months of current demand.

ACTPLA has prepared an EDP inventory which has been included in the pipeline.

Progress with implementation and status of the pipeline be reported twice a year.

Progress has been reported, leading to major increases in the production of land. Progress reports will continue to be produced.

In addition, a Chief Executives Steering
Group on Land Supply has been
established and meets regularly.

Review the practices, processes and delegations associated with land supply (including direct sale). This review should cover the financing, planning, land release and development approval aspects of land supply.

Disallowable Instruments for over-thecounter sales and sales to CHC have been implemented.

A new direct sale process was introduced with the new planning legislation.

Incorporate principles from the Land Release Strategy and Affordable Housing Steering Group report into the Statements of Intent for both ACTPLA and Land Development Agency. In particular, key activities for 2007-08 to 2010-11 should include clear, quantitative measures for delivering affordable housing outcomes.

The ACT Planning and Land Authority and Land Development Agency Statements of Intent for 2007-08 and 2008-09 incorporate the principles of the ACT Government’s Affordable Housing Action Plan.

Incorporate into the work plans of other agencies relevant elements of the land release Strategy and the Affordable Housing Steering Group Report

The Departments of Disability, Housing and Community Services, Treasury, and Territory and Municipal Services are implementing initiatives related to their responsibilities under the Affordable Housing Action Plan. These agencies are represented on the Chief Executives Steering Group on Land Supply. A key focus is the better coordination of the provision of trunk works and infrastructure to support land releases.
