Afternoon Chloe

I have further fleshed out the Draft LDA Work Ptan as follows (previous version circulated to OCG.in the email below

for reference):

'[.and Development Agency Work Plan

Land release and supply are central to the ACT Governmenf s ability to deliver enormous and significant social,

economic, financial and environmental growth and benefits for Canberra. Ensuring that a development ready

inventory of serviced land is available to deliver the broader objectives of the newly formed Capital Metro Agency

ICMA) is critical. Construction of CMA's light rail service from Hibberson Street in the Gungahlin Town Centre to(r .,inga / Rudd Streets in the City Centre is onty the first stage of a broader rapid transit rietwork proposed across

Canberra, which is why it is the Governrnent's major redevelopment focus. .

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is responsible for the implementation ancl market delivery of developmeht and

land retease of Government owned land along the Capital Metro corridor whilst balancing competing public sector /commercial priorities, providing opportunities for private sector development and optimising the'community

benefits from the ACT's land assets. ln short, the Capital Metro Project represents a significant opportunity for urban

renewalwhich will assist in financing the necessary infiastructure works, whilst renewing existing sites along the

corridor. The purpose of the LDA Work Plan is to outline a high-level overarching framework for which performance

can be managed, measured and reported against as identified below:

- undertake early investigations / assessrnents to understand land development viability, resolve land develop.ment



- identifiT key financial and non-financial measures to be addressed .


r ?ngage multidisciplinary design, planning and marketing teams to develop necessary strategies and succinct

-ocumentation- establish a robust and decisive work progranrme that facilitates the land development conrmitment by

GovernmePt

- identifu and analyse risks, develop Risk Management Plans and undertake regular risk reviews

- coordinate and develop transit, urban planning financial and delivery options


(rLRP)

- ensure a prompt and adequate supply of serviced land is development ready to allow flexibility in anticipation of

shifting / volatile market conditions- collaborate with Government and provide alternative release options to cover any unanticipated delays on sites

othenrrise identified for release by OCG

- promote inter-directorate / agency / authority coordination to ensure the Government's agreed ILRP targets are


- manage the method by which land is released, be it serviced land to market, partnering with others in joint venture

developments or releasing raw land directly to the private sector

As detailed by the Office of the Coordinator General (OCG) Work Plan, the OCG is ultimately responsible for

.determining the timing and sequencing of land release along ihe Capital Metro corridor. Ahead of confirmation of

OCG,s specific progrm for implementation and delivery by the LDA, the LDlt's interim focus is on achieving the

objectives and aims outlined within the 2Ot2-2O13 Budget through undertaking the works required to deliver the

1

)r., L-5

targets announced within the IRLP 2013-L4 to 2076-77.The IRLP targets relevant to the Capital Metro Project have

been identified by the ILRP as follows:

Z1l3-Z1l" Residential Land: 256 Dwelling Sites z}L3-z}L4Commercial Land: *11,853m2 Site Area

ZOLA-ZOIS Residential Land:416 Dwelling Sites 20L4-2015 Commercial Land:*23,L74m2 Site Area

ZOLS-ZO11 Residential Land: 457 Dwelling Sites 20L5-2OLG Commercial Land: *22,049m2 Site Area

2lt6-zoL7 Residential Land:.200 owellin! sites 2016-29L7 Commercial Land: *4,000m2 Site Area

Total: 1,329 Dwelling sites Total: *6t,o76m2 Site Area

(* These can include mixed use sites which may include residential - refer to the Residential land Release Program forthe residential component.)'

That,s as far as l,ve taken it at this stage. l'm happy to add more, but it seems a bit redundant to expand without

actual ipecifics from OCG in relation to sequencing or confirmation of more sites.

. The breakdown of the IRLP figures above has been consolidated from the following data:

please note, whilst the above Franklin / Harrison / Flemington Avenue sites still need to be confirmed.as.actual

Capital Metro project sites, there may be more contbined within the ILRP tables that haven't been included as

indicated on page 9 of the ILRP whe're it states:

{}}{::14

,There are a number of releases including Northbourne Avenue Corridor, City and Southside Redevelopment where

the exact location is yet to be determined. The Economic Development Directorate will undertake further

investigation into these areas.'

Obviously if there are extra sites, including the additionalsites I have assumed (above)form part of th'e Capital

Afternoon Brooke / Jamie / Michaela

As discussed, we have made some preliminary progress on LDI(s Work Plan:

'[and Development AgencY Work Plan

i -.rnd release and supply are central to the ACT Government's ability to deliver enormous and significant social,

economic, financial and environmentalgrowth / benefits for canberra.'Ensuring that a d.evelopment ready. inventory

of servicecl land is available to detiverthe broader objectives of the capital Metro Agency along the Gungahlin to

city corridor is critical, which is why it is the Government's major reclevelopment focus. The LDA is responsible for

the imptementation and market delivery of clevelopment and land release of Government owned land along the

capital Metro corridor whilst balancing competing public sector / commercial priorities, providing opportunities for

private sector development and optimising the community benefits from the ACT's land assets.

The purpose of this plan is to provide a high-level overarching framework for which performance can be managed,





- identify key financidl and non-financial measures to be addressed


;l ,r1gdg€ multidisciplinary design, planning and'marketing teams to develop necessary strategies and succinct

oocumentation- establish a robust and decisive work programme that facilitates the land development commitment by

Government- identify and analyse risks, develop Risk Managernent Plans and undertake regular risk reviews


. - achieve timely receipt of necessary approvals to facilitate achievement of tlre lndicative Land Release Programs

!':::lr. a prompt and adequate supply of serviced land is development ready to allow flexibility in anticipation of

shifting / volatile market conditions

- collaborate with Government and provide alternative release options to cover ahy unanticipated delays on sites


- promote inter.directorate / agency / authority coordinatlon to ensure the Government'i agreed ILRP targets are


- manage the method by which land is released, be it seruiced land to market, partnering with others in joint venture

developments or releasing raw land directly to the private secto/

This will be fleshed out further overthe coming week with more specific details / detiverables / programme / etc,

however I believe this gives you an idea of what form / direction our Work Plan is taking.

0 0 0 {,:S.

As noted, there appears to be a some crossover between the due diligence responsibitities outlined in your draft.

work plan and that which are norrnally activities for which the LDA would be responsible, however I believe this is to

be expected and wilt sort itself but over the qourse of'these early stages.

t am not hereThurs / Fri, sowon't be abte to access my LDA email, however please feel free to coritact me on my


possibly the longest ernail address ever t know) if you have any pressing commenti / concerns'
