the boundary between Urban Areas and other land use categories. Before detailed plans are approved, certification must be obtained from the National Capital Authority that the proposals are not inconsistent with the Plan.
    f. Any areas potentially affected by Scrivener Dam flood inundation may only be developed where it is demonstrated that Scrivener Dam meets flood safety and operational requirements, based on the applicable Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) guidelines.
    g. Planning of urban areas in Molonglo should make provision for a distinct, accessible and legible link, of a minimum width of 70 metres between Stromlo Forest Park and the National Arboretum Canberra.

3.5 Employment location

3.5.1 Background
One of the key principles of Canberra's urban structure has been that a hierarchy of centres has been developed, with each town having a centre acting as a focal point for higher order retail functions, commercial services, offices and community facilities.
This hierarchical principle, at the metropolitan level, means that:
       * Canberra Central continues to be the main location of office employment
       * City is to be encouraged to develop as the most specialised retail, commercial, cultural, entertainment and tourist centre
       * town centres provide retail, commercial, cultural, entertainment and other facilities to meet community needs, and serve also as locations for office‑based employment.
Consideration of employment location should have regard to objectives that are of importance to the quality and significance of the National Capital. These are to:
       * avoid deterioration of the environmental and visual quality of the Central National Area of Canberra
       * maintain the option of further employment in the Town Centres
       * preserve the setting and significance of the Central National Area as a location for major national institutions
       * ensure the dominant role of  the City Centre (City) is maintained in the hierarchy of centres.
For these reasons the National Capital Authority's principles and policies with respect to employment location are as follows.

3.5.2 Principles for employment location
 1.        The location of employment in Canberra and the Territory should enhance rather than detract from the city's role as the National Capital. Major employment location proposals must be determined with regard to their transportation and environmental impacts.
 2.       Centres at each level in the hierarchy form the focus of a range of retail, commercial and community facilities
