Future urban areas are new greenfield developments and typically managed by the ACT Suburban Land Agency. Offsets are often found adjacent to these areas. Images from ACTmapi showing the areas.
Environmental offsets and Suburban Land Agency (SLA) areas are often side-by-side. Below you can find screenshots from ACTmapi with SLA and offset areas labelled accordingly. The thick yellow lines are the borders of the suburbs. You may see squiggly thin yellow lines, if you look carefully. These are bike paths.
