The ACT's planning industry groups united to blast the draft Territory Plan currently being worked on by ACTPLA, and subject of a major submission from us. Their assault calls for the draft Plan to be abandoned altogether.
Having been heavily involved with the Territory Plan draft process
since November last year, and also with key industry representatives

out of proportion with the concerns that industry has been raising to

The focus of their complaints seem to be the Epicentre and
increasing bulky retail at Fyshwick. But Fyshwick's position as
Canberra's premier bulky retail precinct has been cemented for many
years prior to the Epicentre decision, despite being undermined by the
Federal Government's allowance of the Brand Depot development on the
Airport land, of which the industry complaints appear to make no
mention.

- to paraphrase to man himself - to have Terry Snow's fingerprints all
