The ACT Government's economic development priorities to 2030 will focus on accelerating knowledge based economic growth, the transition to a net zero economy, and productivity and lifestyle enhancing infrastructure for Canberrans.
We want to make sure Canberra stays one of the world's best places to live.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr said CBR2030 builds on the ambition set in 2016 and the direction established through CBR Switched On in 2022.
"CBR2030 is about shaping a city that works for everyone," the Chief Minister said.
"Powered by innovation, education, and strategic infrastructure investment, Canberra has seen consistent growth, record job creation and a surge in new businesses."
"We've broadened our public and private sector economic base and have seen uninterrupted economic growth for more than three decades.
"Through this new framework, we seek to enable our economy to reach 300,000 jobs by 2030."
CBR2030 is built around four missions that define a shared future for our city:
- Mission 1: A city that continues to give you back time
- Mission 2: A climate-ready city, leading Australia's net zero future
- Mission 3: Continued knowledge-based economic growth
- Mission 4: Building Canberra's future today
It recognises that Canberra is one of the fastest growing economies in Australia, delivering world leading quality of life for its people.
The framework also focuses on delivering city-shaping infrastructure today, supporting community life and economic opportunity for a growing city.
Precincts that integrate jobs, education and culture are central to this approach, creating places that connect people and enable innovation.
