At the Victorian Trades Hall, such a centre exists thanks to funding from the Victorian Department of Family, Fairness and Housing. Their purpose is to support people faced with language and cultural barriers to access their rights to a safe and supportive workplace. In the 2022 financial year, their team of eight people worked to support 176 Victorians to resolve industrial disputes, with issues ranging across the full spectrum of workplace entitlements and with 15 per cent of cases relating directly to a workplace injury. Every one of those cases demonstrates why such a centre should exist in every Australian jurisdiction. I again repeat my calls for a migrant workers centre here in the ACT.
I would like to thank the minister for his motion today.
Debate (on motion by Ms Cheyne) adjourned to the next sitting.
Planning Bill 2022
Detail stage
Clause 1.
Debate resumed from 1 June 2023 on motion by Mr Gentleman:
That clause 1 be agreed to.
Clause 1 agreed to.
Clause 2.
MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Manager of Government Business, Minister for Corrections, Minister for Industrial Relations and Workplace Safety, Minister for Planning and Land Management and Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (10.46): I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 1681]:
This amendment allows for the next steps of the Planning System Review and Reform Project to occur. It is for the documents that make up the rest of the system. This is why I outlined last week that we need to pass the bill before we can move to the next steps. They were already outlined in the bill and the transitional provisions. This ensures that we can do everything necessary to bring the new Territory Plan to the Assembly in the coming weeks.
MS CLAY (Ginninderra) (10.47): I rise to speak in support of amendment No 1. In particular, I want to set out the ACT Greens’ understanding of the next parts of this process. If this bill passes, the majority of it will be dormant until a resolution is supported in this Assembly about the interim Territory Plan. If it passes, the interim Territory Plan and supporting documents, like the technical specifications and the design guides and the consultation report, will be tabled in the Assembly. We will all have a period of time to review these documents before a decision is made in this Assembly to pass the interim Territory Plan.
