The Northern Territory Planning Commission
The Northern Territory Planning Commission is an independent statutory authority.
It sets the strategic framework for integrated land use, transport and infrastructure planning, working to deliver more sustainable and cost-effective outcomes for the community that reflect environmental and heritage values.
The Commission consults with the community to develop strategic plans and policies for inclusion in the Planning Scheme and advises on significant development proposals.
Current Consultation
| Central Palmerston Area PlanThe Planning Commission wants to hear the community’s vision for the Central Palmerston Area. Developing an Area Plan needs stakeholder involvement—it’s your City Centre! We are talking to the community, gathering information and looking at what is needed to accommodate future growth in the area before we draft the Central Palmerston Area Plan. This is an opportunity for the community, property owners and businesses to get involved in the planning process. Share your ideas about future land use in Central Palmerston and tell us what you think should be in the Area Plan. Stage 1 community engagement is happening now through to Friday 30 August 2019. Find out more about the Central Palmerston Area Plan. |
