UDIA appreciates the opportunity to provide our comments on the consultation draft National Urban Policy (the Policy draft).
UDIA National is a long standing champion for developing a comprehensive, coordinated and strategic approach to a liveable, equitable, productive, sustainable and resilient built environment.
We appreciate that the Policy draft is not the final form of the Urban Policy Plan, but a discussion paper to encapsulate the universe of issues to build the National Urban Policy pathways.
This means that the Policy draft necessarily lack a coherent context on how to draw all the elements together into a coordinated stepped plan for better cities, suburbs and regions.
Within our Submission, we have commented on the key principles that should be included across the aims, objectives and key areas of focus.
