National Urban Policy Consultations
To inform the development of the National Urban Policy, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport in December 2010 released a discussion paper, Our Cities—building a productive, sustainable and liveable future, and an accompanying background and research paper, Our Cities—the challenge of change.
In response to the discussion paper, 230 public submissions and survey responses were received from State, Territory and Local Governments, industry and community representatives, urban researchers and members of the public. In addition, nearly 450 stakeholders participated in workshops across each of the eighteen major cities of Australia during the three month consultation period. The Australian Government wishes to thank those who took part in the workshops and contributed submissions and survey responses.
The written submissions received by the Department are available below. A small number of submissions were received on a confidential basis and are not included in the list.
The written submissions received by the Department are available below. Please note that the Department is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) and, as such, submissions may be accessed and published under the Act. If you believe that access to the information or documents would be an unreasonable disclosure of your or others' personal information, adversely affect your or others' business affairs, or would breach confidentiality, then you should contact us by email at ourcities@infrastructure.gov.au.
