has constraints relating to access, topography or environmental issues. More innovative approaches to community facilities, such as flexible and multi-purpose spaces, will ensure ongoing supply.

The type of residential uses permitted on CFZ land is specifically limited to support those people in need and is managed by a Territory approved organisation that provides a range of support services.

(d) The implications for the use of CFZ land used for “social housing” for the potential for mixed-use or for private ownership are as follows:

The Territory Plan sets out a wide range of potential community and recreational uses on the CFZ land.

Private residential housing is not allowed on CFZ land.

Separate ownership of an individual supportive housing dwelling is not allowed.

(e) The Government’s views on the optimal future uses of CFZ land are as follows:

In allocating land and places for community facilities, there is a need to ensure that people living in different parts of the ACT have equality of opportunity to access community facilities and services that meet their needs and preferences.

The distribution of community facilities needs to take into account that catchment sizes for different services vary, with some services being provided for the whole ACT, others for districts and some at the local level.

There is also a need to allow for flexibility to accommodate changes over time in the demographic profile of different areas, and changes in community service delivery arrangements, such as the NDIS.

(f) As at May 2017, the geographical spread of CFZ land in each district, rounded to the nearest whole number, is as follows:

i.	Belconnen 514 ha
ii.	Tuggeranong 262 ha
iii.	Canberra Central 250 ha
iv.	Gungahlin 140 ha
v.	Woden Valley 130 ha
vi.	Weston Creek 105 ha
vii.	Molonglo 53 ha.

(g) Planning for greenfield and brownfield developments considers the needs for identified parcels of CFZ land as well as any opportunities to collocate community uses in centres and close to public transport. The range of community facilities needed depends on the size and composition of the catchment population both now and into the future, and the availability and access to existing facilities in neighbouring established areas.
