The National Growth Areas Alliance has identified that there is a structural problem in the way new communities are planned and developed in Australia. The NGAA understands that this situation has developed over time but that given the quantum of population growth facing these areas urgent attention is required to avoid some potentially serious social and environmental consequences in the next decade and beyond.

About the NGAA

The National Growth Areas Alliance represents 24 of Australia's fastest growing municipalities.

These municipalities currently house about 3.3 million people.  Over the next 20 years NGAA's population will grow at double the national rate.
25 per cent of Australia's metropolitan population is represented by NGAA.

While individual circumstances may differ, all NGAA 24 member councils share the common characteristic of growth and the need to deal with the social, physical and planning challenges that come with it.

NGAA is represented on the Australian Council for Local Government Steering Committee.
