Have your say on a National Urban Policy for Australia

The Australian Government is developing the first National Urban Policy in over a decade and we want your feedback on how we can work together to improve Australia’s cities and suburbs.

The draft National Urban Policy seeks to provide an urban lens to view future policies, programs and investment, ensuring they support the Australian Government’s goals to enable our urban areas to be more liveable, equitable, productive, sustainable and resilient. 

Your views will help us develop the final National Urban Policy and guide how the Australian Government can support sustainable growth in our cities and suburbs.

The Government will consider all feedback prior to finalising the National Urban Policy, in consultation with the state and territory governments and urban policy experts.
