Changes to the National Capital Plan have been approved, marking the first step towards a new Hume Circle Precinct.

Amendment 102 varies the National Capital Plan by bringing the Hume Circle Precinct within Designated Areas and establishing the planning framework against which future development proposals may be considered and assessed.

In response to community comments, the amendment clarifies land use and building heights limits across the precinct, with the maximum allowable building height reduced, particularly in relation to an existing low-rise residential area which has been limited to three storeys.

The amendment has also incorporated more detail on the principles and expectations of high-quality urban design, consistent with other precinct codes in the National Capital Plan.

Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain said the approval marks an important milestone in the planning of the Hume Circle Precinct and follows extensive consultation with the community, businesses, body corporates and stakeholder organisations.

“Throughout the public consultation process, the National Capital Authority received valuable feedback from a broad range of stakeholders,” Minister McBain said.

“This feedback informed refinement to the Amendment.”
