INTRODUCTION This publication provides information on the Government s land release program for the year 2001-2002 and 2002-03 with indicative releases for the years 2003-04 to 2005-06. The program supports key developments in the Gungahlin town centre and the Kingston Foreshore, as well as revitalisation of Civic and group and local shopping centres. Blocks for approximately 1,800 residential dwellings and 15 commercial sites have been selected for release in 2001-02. In addition, approvals for 500 redevelopment/dual occupancy dwellings have been projected for the year. The number of blocks and timing of releases will be determined by market conditions and where appropriate, link land opportunities to the Government s business incentive and development programs. The analysis and advice underpinning the residential and commercial land releases has been prepared in consultation with the Residential and Commercial Advisory Groups. These groups comprise representatives from all key industry sectors and peak bodies, as well as government agencies with an interest in land. The program also takes account of Queanbeyan developments as they are an element of housing choice in the region. Priorities for land release The program supports the following key priorities: ensuring adequate supplies of land in each market segment; providing choice in land opportunities for homebuyers between new greenfields and urban completion sites; optimising use of existing infrastructure and services; supporting the Gungahlin town centre and central area, and the Kingston Foreshore; encouraging use of existing commercial vacancies and facilitating greater flexibility in commercial land uses by providing more flexibility in local centres; releasing land through an open competitive framework; and ensuring that land releases are fully sustainable. Land Stock Assessments The Department of Urban Services commenced a land audit in 2000, undertaking a review of all unleased land in the Territory. This has allowed Land and Property to identify and assess unutilised land in the context of its existing land use policy. The Government has supported the land review and has given a public undertaking that any land being assessed will not include land identified on the Territory Plan as urban open space. There are two possible exceptions to this undertaking, Section 78 Griffith and the Canberra Brickworks at Yarralumla; both proposals are currently undergoing extensive community consultation. 2

The work is being undertaken in the context of the Territory s reducing land stock and increasing service and infrastructure costs. Providing housing choice to the community is the prime factor in this review. Consultation with the community will be undertaken prior to any sale arising from the review. Any release of land arising from the assessment will be in accordance with the overall statutory planning requirements and planning objectives for Canberra. A major challenge for the Territory is to balance the diverse needs of the community. 3

RESIDENTIAL LAND RELEASES Residential land releases will provide housing choice in terms of location, dwelling type and price. Releases will be programmed to ensure sufficient land is with developers and builders to meet forecast demand. The level of residential land releases is determined by changes in population levels, migration patterns and household formation rates. It is envisaged that changing demographics and social needs will be met, with specific attention being given to the ageing population and changing lifestyle choices. As part of this work, priority has been given to adaptable and accessible housing and dwelling choice for single occupants. Adaptable housing takes into consideration the needs of the ageing who wish to remain independent within their own community. (see page 12) The land release program is based on a projection of minimal population growth and changes in household formations, particularly recognising a transition to a higher number of single person households. The ACT population rose from 310,800 at January 2000 to 313,000 at January 2001 with an annual growth rate of 0.8% expected for next five years. The estimated new household formation rate for 2001 is 0.85 persons per household reflecting the decrease in existing household occupants. The current occupancy rate is around 2.53 persons per household, projected to fall to 2.44 persons per household by 2006. The Chief Minister s Department publication Population Forecasts for Canberra Suburbs and Districts 2000-2010 indicates the extent of demographic change by district in Canberra; eg the district of North Canberra which had been experiencing marked population decline, is now forecast to grow at nearly double the overall Canberra rate. This growth is being driven by the changing accommodation choice being made available in this district particularly for single persons. This illustrates the importance of providing housing choice to maintain and increase existing population numbers within residential districts. The projected increase in single person households will lead to greater urban density, as the preferred housing choice for single persons is multi-unit or apartment living. This group also prefers accommodation in close proximity to city centres. Land has been identified for release in all market segments to meet the changing needs of the community. Sites for release as adaptable and accessible housing types include Kaleen, Calwell, Braddon, Greenway and Chisholm, whilst land for standard housing will be released in Lawson, East O Malley, Dunlop and Gungahlin. A number of multi-unit and apartment style houses will be released in Kingston and Gungahlin, with apartment style housing being offered in the Belconnen Town Centre. An outline of residential land releases for 2001-2002 to 2002-03 is at Appendix Two with indicative land releases for 2003-04 to 2005-06 at Appendix Three. 4

The demand for housing saw the median house price in the ACT increase by 10.0% in the year to December 2000, to $187,000. The average price for a single dwelling block varies depending upon the block type/size and the location. In the March 2001 quarter, medium sized serviced blocks (450-650 m2) averaged $61,612.50 with a high of $72,758 and a low of $45,514. Large serviced blocks (651 m2 +) averaged $89,088.27 with a high of $93,972 and a low of $61,600. The price variation reflects both the location and size of the block. In the December quauter 2000, the ACT proportion of family income required to meet the average loan repayment remained the lowest in Australia at 14.0 %, the same as the previous quarter. The outlook for the overall affordability for the March 2001 quarter has improved with the recent 0.5% cut in interest rates. The total vacancy rate of all rented dwellings in the ACT as at March 2001 was at 2.4%. In the December quarter the median weekly rent for three bedroom houses increased to $210, up 5.0% over the quarter and 10.5% over the year. All types of residential rental properties in all areas of the ACT recorded increases to the median weekly rent during the year 2000. This is indicative of the interest by investors in the ACT property market. 5

Gungahlin town centre Approximately 400 blocks are to be released by the Gungahlin Development Authority in 2001-02. Kingston Foreshore This site will be developed over the next five to ten years, it is capable of accommodating 1,700-1,900 medium density residential units of a variety of types. Capacity for approximately 1,000 dwellings is to be released, in stages, over the next five years, with 350 to be released as Stage 1a and b in 2001-02. ACT Housing ACT Housing is estimating the sale of 800 of its ageing stock over the next five years. This will be replaced with housing targeted to meet the needs of the tenant profile. Disposal strategies continue to target houses older than 40 years and high maintenance properties such as monocrete, weatherboard, Tocumwal, fibro and series 7000 houses. By its nature, disposal is concentrated in areas of high concentrations in public housing, particularly the inner-north and inner-south. Decisions to sell are made on vacancy of properties. Civic A major release of Section 6 City in 2000-01 will provide for a range of residential and commercial opportunities. The site has capacity for an estimated 150 dwellings. Further residential releases (150 dwellings) are planned for Section 61 City in 2003-04. Along with Section 6, this will support the redevelopment of the City West and bring a greater permanent population base to the area. Construction work on Section 56 is expected to commence in 2001-02. A mixed-use development is proposed including a significant amount of residential over 2001. The Commonwealth land releases in the City may also impact on the residential land program as sites become available through the sale of excess Commonwealth land in the West Civic Precinct. The Territory is working closely with the Commonwealth to ensure a balanced and co-ordinated approach to releases over the next two years. Belconnen town centre Further residential releases will complement the redevelopment of the Cameron and Benjamin Offices. The draft Belconnen Town Centre Masterplan also identifies additional residential opportunities around the town centre, which will become available for release once the Masterplan has been approved. 6

Tuggeranong town centre The Tuggeranong Lakeshore Study gave emphasis to increasing the residential population in the town centre area. New releases are proposed on part Block 5 Section 16 in 2001-02, with capacity for 150 medium density dwellings for adaptable and accessible housing which will be integrated with commercial and retail use. A program of medium density releases will continue over the next five years, as part of implementing the Study recommendations. Queanbeyan Land releases in Queanbeyan have a impact on the market in the ACT, as they provide choice between major new greenfields areas such as Jerrabomberra and Gungahlin. They also provide economic choice to home-buyers in terms of block size and price. With approximately 200 to 250 dwellings to be sold annually in each of the next three years, development in and around Queanbeyan offers a mix of rural residential (average of 6ha), standard and cottage dwellings as well as single residential dwellings aimed at the higher end of the market. Redevelopment/dual occupancy The land release program foreshadows that the non-government sector will undertake redevelopment for approximately 500 dwellings in each year; these include dual occupancies. The bulk of these redevelopments are expected to occur in the older suburbs of Canberra, particularly the inner-north and inner-south areas. Strategies such as ACT Code and the Tree Protection legislation will assist in determining in how these redevelopments fit in with existing neighbourhood character. 7

COMMERCIAL LAND RELEASES The commercial land release program meets market demand for land in commercial centres, industrial areas and tourist nodes. Emphasis is being given to providing more flexible land use through generic purpose clauses. New releases of land for commercial purposes in new residential areas will be in a form that will allow for demographic and social change to be more easily accommodated. Having regard to changing shopping patterns the Government has recommended a conservative approach to commercial land releases. The Commercial Advisory Group supports this approach. Priority is being given to supporting Precinct Management and helpshop programs in established centres in Civic and group and local centres. A key factor in the limited commercial land releases relates to the need to support existing facilities with vacancies; this is particularly relevant for commercial space and tourism accommodation. Office space The Canberra office market is recovering from an oversupply of office space and the subsequent fall in rents and values. Steady public and private sector office employment together with the large amount of office space still either withdrawn or redeveloped, has pushed vacancies back down to mid 1990 levels. The commercial sector continues to grow into 2001 with effective rents showing growth across most areas of Canberra as the availability of office accommodation tightens. Quality space is scarce which has led the first stage of recovery in rents and values. BIS Shrapnel has predicted that future demand is likely to be moderate over the next 2 years as growth in Canberra continues to be demand led. A forecast downturn for the Australian economy in 2001-02 could affect business confidence in the private sector, in turn affecting demand for office space. There is also the potential impact of Commonwealth land in the City West Precinct that will be released onto the market. The Territory is working closely with the Commonwealth in respect of future land releases to limit any adverse effects. There has been a significant reduction in office vacancy levels in Canberra from 5.5% in July 2000 to 4.0% in January 2001. This is despite an increase in vacancies of 2.1% in the CBD. The movement of demand between Civic and non-civic premises continues to be affected by Federal Government decisions on location and the availability of space. In June 2000, Canberra s metropolitan office stock rate was approximately 1.4 million square metres of space of which 450,000 square metres was Civic office stock. Given the relatively flat demand, the significant amount of vacant B and C grade space available and the potential impact of Commonwealth land sales, the Territory is looking at a modest program. 8

Commercial and industrial space Retail trade turnover in the Territory remains strong. The Australian Bureau of Statistics figures indicate retail trade turnover in the ACT increased by 14.8% over the year ending 2000. This can be compared with a national increase of 7.0% over the same period. 350 Movement in the Retail Sector 270 260 250 240 ACT Original ACT Trend 230 220 210 200 190 Feb 98 Feb 99 Feb 00 Feb 01 (Source Australian Bureau of Statistics, Catalogue No.8501.0) While retail figures are strong it is expected that the proposed Civic developments will meet the needs of the retail market and that the refurbishment of local and group centres will encourage the take up of vacant space. Accordingly, limited releases of commercial and industrial land are proposed over the next few years. Value of Retail Trade (Source Australian Bureau of Statistics, Catalogue No.8501.0) 9

Tourist accommodation Room occupancy rates in the ACT increased during the December quarter by 2.2% to 59%,whereas nationally, it increased by 0.4% to 58.8%. The total number of room nights occupied in the December quarter was 271,900, an increase of 3.6% over the quarter and an increase of 4.5% over the year. Takings in the ACT increased by 0.8% over the December quarter. Nationally they decreased by 4.8%. 67.5 65 62.5 60 57.5 55 52.5 Room Occupancy Rates ACT & Australia Australia ACT 50 Jun 98 Sep 98 Dec 98 Mar 99 Jun 99 Sep 99 Dec 99 Mar 00 June 00 Sep 00 Dec 00 (Source Australian Bureau of Statistics, Catalogue No.8635.0) The trend towards building serviced apartments over the more traditional hotel/motel accommodation continued over the 2000-01 period. These apartments came largely through the office conversion program. It is anticipated that increases in tourist accommodation, in the short term, will continue to be provided largely through this mechanism. 71 68 65 62 59 56 53 ACT Room Occupancy Rates Motel, Hotels & Serviced Apartments Serviced Apartments Hotel Motel Total 50 Jun 98 Sep 98 Dec 98 Mar 99 Jun 99 Sep 99 Dec 99 Mar 00 June 00 Sep 00 Dec 00 (Source Australian Bureau of Statistics, Catalogue No.8635.0) 10

Key development priorities Gungahlin town centre The Authority will release a second retail site in the Town Centre core and one or more sites in the newly created Homemakers Precinct, which will include retailers of hardware, carpets and other compatible products. Kingston Foreshore The Foreshore, when fully developed, will have capacity for: 7,000m2 of specialty retail space; and up to 30,000m2 of commercial accommodation, small scale office and business space. Commercial releases will be carefully monitored to meet market demand. Civic Commercial development on Section 56 will comprise additional retail space, community facilities and leisure and entertainment facilities. Serviced apartments and a hotel are also proposed in the development. It is envisaged that the bulk of the commercial activity will not occur until the latter half of the program. The proposed release and development of Section 6 City will also contribute to further commercial opportunities as part of the Civic Revitalisation Program. Work is continuing on master plans for redeveloping Hobart and Darwin Places, along with the focus on the University Gateway and City West upgrades. This could involve the redevelopment and rationalisation of existing office space, and see the introduction of more active street frontages. Canberra Airport The Canberra Airport Masterplan and Majura Corridor Study are examining development of airport-related industry. The Brindabella Business Park will provide considerable space outside the CBD. Belconnen Town Centre The draft Belconnen Town Centre Masterplan identifies additional commercial and accommodation opportunities to enhance the town centre s operations. Tuggeranong Town Centre Modest releases will be made to meet commercial demands in the town centre in accordance with the Lake Tuggeranong Foreshore Masterplan. Land releases 2001-02 to 2005-06 An outline of commercial land to be released over 2001-02 and 2002-03 is at Appendix Two with indicative land releases for 2003-04 to 2005-06 at Appendix Three. 11

COMMUNITY LAND RELEASES The community land release program meets market demand for land from organisations that provide for the health, recreational, intellectual, religious, cultural, welfare, sporting and recreational needs of the community. The release of land to community organisations is an important part of the total land releases in the Territory. The development of facilities by these organisations builds and maintains links throughout the community. The direct sale of land is made in accordance with criteria that are set out in disallowable instruments which relate to the specific type of organisation or use, e.g: religious; welfare; aged persons; educational; and general community purposes. Prior to an offer of lease being made, applications for the direct sale of land for community organisations are subject to public consultation. Current applications that have been publicly notified for possible release in the future, include: Block 5 Section 85 Kaleen - National Australian Chinese Association (retirement complex); Block 15 Section 2 Page - Villagio Sant Antonio and Ridgecrest (aged persons accommodation); Part Block 11 Section 275 Kambah - Sri Lankan Buddhist Association of Canberra Inc (religious use); Block 53 Section 8 Garran - Southern Cross Homes ACT Inc - (retirement complex); and Block 17 Section 30 Fyshwick - Salvation Army - (extension of community centre activity operated on adjoining site). The Forward Plan for Older Persons in the ACT 2000-2003 documents the ageing profile of Canberra s population and identifies the increased need for suitable housing and land. In June 1998, 24,000 people were aged 65 and over (7.5% of the ACT population). Over the next 12 years these numbers will effectively double with those over 65 increasing by 22,000. This represents a challenge for the supply of suitable land, housing, support facilities and care arrangements. The increase also has an impact on the overall demand for hostels and nursing homes. To date, this has been met by expanding existing facilities. However, subject to the availability of Commonwealth funding, new facilities could be provided which would expand the choice available to the community. Planning studies have commenced to identify a suitable site in the Belconnen area. In addition to identifying suitable land for retirement complexes, sites are being brought forward for release that will be suitable for the development of aged persons units. It will be a condition of release, that the units are constructed to relevant adaptable and accessible standards. These sites will generally be released through an open and competitive process but the opportunity exists for such land to be provided by direct sale where appropriate. 12

APPENDIX 1 Demographic, market and economic overview GENERAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS Economic growth is forecast to grow from 4.3% during 2000-01 to 4.6% over the next year. In the December 2000 quarter, the ACT economy experienced a decrease of 2.0% (trend series), while nationally Domestic Final Demand decreased by 0.7%. In contrast to this, the ACT State Final Demand grew by 8.4% over the 12 months ending December 2000 compared with a growth of only 3.2% in the national Domestic Final Demand. The Territory s unemployment rate of 5% continues to be the lowest of the States and Territories. The ACT job advertisements increased by 2.8% in February 2001, which is 9.8% above the level for the same time last year. From November 2000 to February 2001, the ACT experienced a decline in residential approvals. This dropped to 123 approvals in February 2001,which represented a decline of 35.7% in value against the same period last year. It is envisaged that the increase in the First Home Owners Scheme to $14,000 will be a positive influence on the residential construction industry. Land has already been released in Dunlop and Gordon which will meet this demand. Gross fixed capital expenditure in the ACT in the year to December 2000 was $2430m. This expenditure occurs primarily in the construction industry, which currently represents approximately 20% of the total of employed persons in the ACT. 1400 Builders/Developer Pipeline 1200 1000 800 Dec-00 Mar-01 600 400 200 0 Belconnen Canb Cnt Gungahlin Tuggeranong Woden/Wst Crk Builder/Developer pipeline from March 2001 Residential Activity Report Source ACT Government 13

Approximately 4,100 blocks are currently held in the developers and builders pipelines, with a further 2,000 blocks available in Queanbeyan and private stock. The developer s pipeline consists of newly released land, land released but yet to be serviced and serviced land. As at 31 March 2001, there were approximately 1,830 dwellings yet to be serviced in the private sector and joint venture development estates. The builder s pipeline consists of leased serviced blocks that are either vacant, have dwellings under construction or completed dwellings not yet occupied. As at 31 March 2001, the pipeline had 2,354 dwellings of which 1,293 were multi-unit. The largest number are located in Canberra Central which has 36.6% of the total builder s pipeline. 14
