Land Release
Each year the ACT Government prepares Indicative Land Release Programs setting out the Government’s intended Program of residential, commercial, industrial and community and non-urban land releases. The Programs are indicative and are subject to change as market conditions alter or as Government priorities are adjusted. The Economic Development Directorate (EDD) is responsible for preparing the Programs in conjunction with key Territory agencies such as Treasury Directorate, Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate (CMCD), and ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA). EDD also closely consults with the Land Development Agency (LDA).
The Economic Development Directorate is the portfolio agency for the LDA.
