 The planning of Majura Parkway began with the Tomorrow 's Canberra ( 1970 ) National Capital Development Commission ( NCDC ) report which identified the Majura Valley corridor as a component of Canberra 's peripheral road system . Further NCDC and National Capital Authority ( NCA ) studies including Metropolitan Canberra ( 1984 ) and the Canberra Spatial Plan ( 2004 ) identified the need for a primary road link in the area . This was also backed up by the Gungahlin External Travel Study Information Report ( 1989 ) identifying four main access roads needed for residents of the Gungahlin district .
