Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT 2007 - SECT 6

The object of this Act is to provide a planning and land system that contributes to the orderly and sustainable development of the ACT—

        (a)     consistent with the social, environmental and economic aspirations of the people of the ACT; and

        (b)     in accordance with sound financial principles.

Note     This Act, like all Territory Acts, has no effect to the extent that it is inconsistent with the national capital plan, but is taken to be consistent with the national capital plan to the extent that it can operate concurrently with it (see Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 11 (1)).
