New ACT border development plan outlined near Belconnen
The plan by the National Capital Development Commission and the Department of the Capital Territory envisions an intertown centre near the ACT NSW border west of Belconnen. It predicts population growth to 600,000 by the year 2000, with major services extending from inner-city Canberra to the border and calls for a border town on the NSW side. It notes potential land-bank consequences and limits on future residential land, stressing urban growth would rely on cross-border access and external parkway networks.
