The Territory Plan is the key statutory planning document in the ACT, providing the policy framework for the administration of planning in the ACT. The Territory Plan guides the planning and development of the ACT. It is changed from time to time due to social, economic and environmental reasons. The Territory Plan is used to manage development, in particular the way in which land is used and what can be built. It is used in the process of assessing development applications and to guide the development of new estate areas (future urban land). Land in the ACT is divided into sections and blocks. The blocks are zoned and the zoning determines the form of development on a block. There are 23 different zones. The Territory Plan map shows all these zones as different colours. The purpose of the Territory Plan map is to show the zones and overlays that apply to land in the ACT, in accordance with requirements under the Planning and Development Act 2007.

It seeks to provide assistance to those managing land use change, enable greater consistency between the two local governments, give clear regional-level advice to proponents of development, and provide a reference to guide development and conservation by improving the information available to the community. The objectives of the policy are to: conserve and enhance the special benefits arising from landscape elements that form the fabric of the region; respect and conserve its outstanding natural and cultural heritage and environmental values; cater for population growth consistent with the objectives of the policy and provide a range of settlement options located to enhance the economic, social and environmental functions, while promoting quality and innovation in urban design and built form; protect agricultural land for its economic, landscape, tourism and social values; encourage a mix of compatible land uses while separating conflicting land uses; facilitate a robust, diverse and sustainable economy; and foster a sense of community and creativity; for the benefit of all residents and visitors and for future generations.

This polygon feature class represents the spatial extent and boundaries for anticipated, in-progress, existing and historic BLM Land Use Planning Area (LUPA) polygons. Land Use Planning Areas are geographic areas within which the BLM will make decisions during a land use planning effort. Land Use Planning Area Boundaries shift from an "in-progress" status and become Existing Land Use Planning Areas when the Land Use Plan has been approved and a Record of Decision Date has been established. At this point, these LUPAs are officially "existing" and the previous plan is moved to a "historic" status.
