A number of documents underlie the strategic planning process in the ACT, including:
■ the National Capital Plan,500 which is the strategic plan for Canberra. It sets out the broad planning principles and policies for Canberra and the ACT, and detailed conditions of planning, design and development for the 'Designated Areas'.
■ the Transport for Canberra Plan501 sets out a range of actions in transport to 'help create a more sustainable city'. Among these is a plan for mass public transport (either bus rapid transit or light rail), which involves the ACT working with Queanbeyan City Council and the NSW Government to create a public transport corridor between Queanbeyan and the ACT via Canberra Avenue, and completing Majura Parkway.
■ Planning for a sustainable city502 sets out high level strategies and actions for how Canberra will meet its aspirations through to 2030 and 2060.
