The objectives of the Masterplan and future development are to:

• Establish a course that is fair and fun to play for golfers of all standards - from beginners to more experienced golfers while always considering the members of Fairbairn.
• Establish a course layout that best uses the land available and best exploits the natural terrain.
• Gradually upgrade course features including greens, bunkers, and trees, prioritising those holes identified in the Masterplan.
• Eventually have putting greens that are interesting, fun to play, challenging and comparable to the best in the Canberra region.
• Enhance transitions between greens and the following tees to improve the flow of the course.
• Progressively reduce the number of exotic trees (Pines and Cypress) and increase the number of more appropriate local indigenous trees.
• Widen many of the playing corridors through tree removal and by expanding fairways to provide more options and create a more strategic golf course.
• Enhance the potential for distant vistas towards Canberra's natural hills and built landmark features.
• Improve the environmental sustainability of the course so that in 20-30 years it is a haven for flora, fauna and golfers alike.
