Bespoke relationships drive our success

No single engagement with SLA is ever the same. We create thriving communities using a place-led approach to design and community building. This means different factors drive the direction and requirements of all our developments and land releases. Close stakeholder engagement with developers and builders helps ensure we're creating successful community developments and that we’re fulfilling the vision of the ACT Planning Strategy.

Land release process

We make residential, multi-unit, mixed-use, commercial, industrial and community land available for development by way of auction or tender processes. Our development sites all differ in their nature and desired outcomes, requiring various considerations that factor into whether they’re offered for auction or tender processes.

When we release land by tender, a Request for Tender will be released via the Tenders ACT website and will contain instructions on how to submit a tender and how tenders will be evaluated.

Once the tender has closed, we will evaluate the tenders and at the conclusion of that process, appoint a preferred tenderer and proceed to enter into a contract for sale of the land.

Land release program

Each year, the ACT Government publishes the Housing Supply and Land Release Program. The program includes an indicative five-year plan for Territory-owned land releases to support Canberra’s housing, economic and community needs. This provides industry and community with visibility of Government's intended land release pipeline, housing supply priorities and future development opportunities.
