Amendment 95 to the National Capital Plan (the Plan) changed the land use policy of Block 4 Section 106 and part Block 5 Section 121 Curtin to facilitate the development of a new diplomatic estate, and to create a new urban area adjacent to Yarra Glen.
The approved amendment and the Consultation Report are available on the NCA’s website here. The Consultation Report details the issues raised during the public consultation period, the NCA’s response to these issues, and the changes that have been made in response to community feedback.
