Sustainable Subdivisions

The Sustainable Subdivisions Framework (SSF) is a framework that seeks to provide statutory planners with a basis for measuring and achieving stronger sustainability outcomes in residential subdivisions. This is being tested and fine-tuned in partnership with CASBE.  

The GMCA is committed to sustainability in land use planning. In November 2022 eight councils from the GMCA appointed a shared Environmentally Sustainable Development Advisor to specifically work on sustainable subdivisions with councils and developers in their municipalities for a 12 month period to October 2023. In 2024 and again in 2025/26 the program was extended and included:

  • ESD assessments on subdivisions;
  • Planning officer workshops & training;
  • Developer Forums;
  • Relevant Council Strategy advice;
  • Advisory for ESD in the built environment;
  • Informing & participating in revisions to the SSF tool.
