Technical DocumentsThe ACT Government have produced a series of reports as part of early work for Light Rail Stage 2. The reports look at some of the important heritage and landscape features of Commonwealth Avenue. They also propose planning and design principles to guide the light rail extension through this significant area. The reports provide early guidance for future project planning. The ACT Government is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Stage 2B as the next step for the project. The EIS will further consider the project design and potential impacts. It will progress the project through various Australian and Territory Government approvals. Consultation is open on the EIS via the project's YourSay page. - Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Structure Plan – Jane Irwin (PDF)
The Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Structure Plan draws on investigations into the historical development, policies, and objectives of Canberra as the National Capital to describe a long-term vision of the landscape (tree structure) of Commonwealth Avenue.

The Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Heritage Advice Report defines a series of heritage and design principles to maintain, guide and enhance the landscape character for Commonwealth Avenue. It establishes a series of principles that were used to guide the development of the Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Structure Plan. This document has been prepared to guide any detailed planning and design work that proposes new development on Commonwealth Avenue. This document does not limit the requirements of the National Capital Plan, the application of the Works Approval process under the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 or presume an agreed outcome for the Light Rail route.

The Light Rail Commonwealth Avenue Masterplan is the companion document to the Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Heritage Advice and the Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Structure Plan. Its purpose is to overlay the Light Rail design with the Commonwealth Avenue Landscape Structure Plan, and to support the orderly progress of development fronting the Avenue in a manner that preserves the intent of the Landscape Structure Plan. This document has been prepared to guide planning and design work associated with Light Rail on Commonwealth Avenue. This document does not limit the requirements of the National Capital Plan, the application of the Works Approval process under the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 or presume an agreed outcome for the Light Rail route. It was developed in consultation with the National Capital Authority.
