Developer Englobo puts outcomes based planning system to test in ACAT challenge

Key points

• The developer behind the Gungahlin 2030 project will ask the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal to preserve proposed street changes. The Territory Planning Authority rejected traffic changes on Hinder Street and at the Ernest Kavanagh and Kate Crace streets intersection.
• Englobo Group lodged its challenge in July, and mediation was unsuccessful. A hearing is set for 3 November.
• Englobo argues the changes will benefit the whole town centre and should be approved under an outcomes-based planning system.
