The Australian Government has established the Cities and Suburbs Unit to deliver on its urban policy agenda.

National Urban Policy

The Australian Government will deliver a new comprehensive National Urban Policy. The National Urban Policy will address urgent challenges facing our major cities – from equitable access to jobs, homes and services, to climate impacts and decarbonisation. It will bring together a vision for sustainable growth in our cities.

Urban Policy Forum

The Government will engage with urban policy experts and industry and community bodies by re-convening the Urban Policy Forum which will advise the Minister on the latest thinking in innovation, planning, property, design and sustainability.

State of Cities Report

The Australian Government will pull together an accurate and up-to-date picture of life in our cities in State of the Cities reports.

Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program

The urban Precincts and Partnerships Program will support transformative investment in urban Australia based on the principles of unifying urban places, growing economies and serving communities.

The Government announced the regional Precincts and Partnerships Program in October 2022. Together these two programs geographically cover the nation.

Thriving Suburbs Program

The Thriving Suburbs Program will provide merit based and locally-driven grants that address priority community infrastructure in urban and suburban communities.
