Canberra population projections cut in latest NCDC report
The NCDC lowers Canberra 1985 and 2000 projections with a preferred 1985 figure at 337,000 and a high of 357,000, while notes that earlier NSW committee and NCC estimates vary widely. The ACT border expansion plans hinge on densities and service capacity, with later projections suggesting 1990s, then 1995 to 2000 timelines for detached housing and population capacity.

Licence suspension rules in ACT disputed by registrar
An ACT licensing row questions automatic interstate licence suspensions. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles says suspensions from another state should not automatically cancel ACT driving rights, requiring review of court evidence and affected submissions. Judicial delays and staff shortages hinder timely action, while the ACT Supreme Court recently pondered who can order driving bans and breathalyzer implications.
