The maximum height of buildings in Canberra Central is 617 metres (2,024 ft) above sea level, generally about 50 metres (160 ft) above ground level in Canberra City, in compliance with the RL617 rule in the National Capital Authority's National Capital Plan.[2][3] As a result, the highest buildings are now found in the outer town centres, such as Phillip and Belconnen.
