The Commonwealth and ACT Governments are today formally marking 100 years since the gazettal of the Griffin Plan for the National Capital.
Designed by architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, the plan set in motion the design of Australia's first fully planned city and Capital as we know it today.
It is an enduring legacy that continues to shape the way Canberra evolves, ensuring the city remains one of the world's most liveable places.
Their vision established Canberra's defining structure, a city centre framed by grand axes, distinct districts, strong vistas, and the integration of nature throughout our town centres and suburbs.
The centenary is an opportunity to acknowledge the profound and lasting impact of the Griffin vision on Canberra's identity.
As Canberra celebrates a century of the Griffin Plan, we reaffirm our commitment to honour this legacy while guiding the city toward a sustainable, resilient and prosperous future.
