Sustainable development directorate
Purpose
The Sustainable Development Directorate (the Directorate) promotes sustainable living and resource use, strengthens the Territory’s response to climate change, and provides a planning and land use system that contributes to the sustainable development of the ACT.
The Directorate’s aim is to lead the Territory in developing and implementing targeted policies and programs that address environment protection and sustainability, nature conservation, heritage, water and energy security, sustainable urban design, and sustainable transport and spatial planning.
The functions of the Directorate will be complemented by the regulatory capacity provided through the statutory functions of the Planning and Development Act 2007, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna, the Environment Protection Act 1997, the Heritage Act 2004, and the Clinical Waste Act 1990.

2011-12 Priorities
Priorities to be pursued by the Directorate in 2011-12 include:
•	continuing to develop Weathering the Change Action Plan 2 to transition the ACT towards the Government’s policy objective of zero net emissions by 2060, and pursuing carbon neutrality in the Government’s operations and service delivery;
•	delivering a range of strategic planning initiatives including:
–	detailed planning and engineering investigations as part of the land release program, with a focus on supporting housing affordability;
–	completion of the revised ACT Planning Strategy, incorporating the evaluated Canberra Spatial Plan and Sustainable Transport Plan; and
–	commencing an expanded master plan program to identify where infill development could occur in and around town and group centres and along transport corridors.
•	continuing planning system and other regulatory reforms:
–	continuing to work with industry to further refine the newly implemented eDevelopment platform, and investigating opportunities to build additional modules into the platform around case management and data warehousing; 
–	implementing the new National Construction Code and providing an enhanced and expanded inspection capability to the building and construction industry; and
–	continuing the review of land use policies under the Territory Plan.
•	continuing to take forward an energy reform agenda at an ACT and national level and finalising the ACT Sustainable Energy Policy;
•	finalising Stage 3 (Large Scale Generation) of the ACT Electricity Feed-in Tariff Scheme;
•	introducing contemporary best practice nature conservation legislation and implementing a revised Nature Conservation Strategy to protect and conserve threatened species and ecological communities;
•	developing a revised Think water, act water strategy and implementing policies and programs to reduce demand for water and, where feasible, increase the use of non-potable water;
•	finalising the Sustainable Waste Strategy 2010-2025;
•	undertaking a review of the ACT Government’s air quality strategies and programs;
•	celebrating, caring for and conserving the ACT’s Cultural Heritage and information on local Aboriginal heritage;
•	continuing to support our community partners including the Canberra and South East Region Environment Centre, the Conservation Council and SEE Change ACT; and
•	continuing to work with the ACT Natural Resource Management Council, community, governments, landholders, industry, the local Indigenous community, and scientific and research organisations to improve our natural environment including through the Commonwealth Government’s ‘Caring for our Country’ program.
Business and Corporate Strategies
The Directorate will review its corporate and business planning processes to reflect Government priorities and review the Statement of Planning Intent to reflect the Minister’s stated directions and priorities for planning in the ACT.
Business risk profiles will also be subject to continuing review and will be updated to ensure that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are in place.  The Directorate’s Audit Committee will oversee the risk management framework, assess the delivery of services to the Government and the community, and ensure the current governance model reflects contemporary best‑practice principles.
In addition, the Directorate will also:
•	identify the most effective and efficient use of available resources through an analysis of existing programs and new expenditure proposals;
•	maintain the highest standards of ethical behaviour and leadership;
•	strengthen collaborative relationships within Government, with external organisations and the community; and

Strategic Objectives and Indicators
Strategic Objective 1
Leading the Community Towards Making Canberra a Zero-Net Carbon Emitter
The Government’s vision for Canberra is to set the benchmark for Australian cities in carbon neutrality and sustainability. The Directorate works across government, the business sector and the broader community to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions.
The Directorate will raise awareness of climate change through engaging with the community, building partnerships in mitigation and adaptation and developing effective offset options.
The Directorate will:
•	update the ACT’s climate change strategy, Weathering the Change, and finalise the development of Action Plan 2 as a comprehensive road map to carbon neutrality;
•	ensure the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions against legislated targets and implement a carbon neutral framework for the Government;
•	promote business and community engagement on climate change through the Climate Change Council and sectoral agreements; and
•	provide strategic planning for the development of a sustainable transport network. 
Strategic Indicator 1:	Identify actions to deliver 40% greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to 1990 levels by 2020.
Strategic Objective 2
Promoting Sustainable, Secure and Equitable Energy Supply
As part of the drive to carbon neutrality the Government has committed to an ACT Sustainable Energy Policy.  The primary focus of the policy will be to reduce emissions associated with energy use.  The policy will contain specific and measurable targets and ensure the equitable provision of energy and security of supply.  It will reinforce the Government’s commitment to maintaining reliable electricity and natural gas supplies and the delivery of infrastructure to meet consumer expectations.  
The policy and supporting programs will also facilitate the development of distributed energy and increase our focus on energy efficiency.
In 2011-12, the Directorate will:
•	finalise a Sustainable Energy Policy;
•	continue to promote the Feed-in Tariff Scheme to households and businesses and finalise Stage 3 (Large Scale Generation) of the Scheme;
•	support the uptake of renewable energy such as GreenPower and solar hot water in our community; and
•	support increased energy efficiency in homes and businesses.
Strategic Indicator 2:  Growth in renewable energy generation in the Territory.

Notes to the Budget Statements
The budgeted financial statements reflect the transfer of the Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water, the ACT Planning and Land Authority, Transport Planning and the Support to the Conservator of Flora and Fauna from the Department of Territory and Municipal Services, and the Heritage and Government Architect units from the Chief Minister’s Department. 
Importantly, in relation to the transfer of the Support for the Conservator and Transport Planning units, the above figures incorporate only the preliminary transfer agreement between the Sustainable Development Directorate and the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate. These figures are still the subject of ongoing negotiations and, if necessary, will be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Act 1996.
