Moore's question is: The Government will make material from the central Canberra heritage study available to the public on 9 June 1989. The study was commissioned and paid for by the ACT Heritage Committee. My advice is that the committee considers that the study is not in a form that is suitable for public release.
The Heritage Committee, in addition, further cautions that the report is not a definitive statement on the heritage values of central Canberra. The committee will release an opinion on the study by 9 June 1989. However, I have decided to release material from the report and to make the following qualifications. The study is in the form of a series of presentation panels. I propose to organise a briefing for interested members of the Assembly by Heritage Unit staff who have indicated to my office that this briefing can be provided immediately.
This presentation and a copy of the study panels will be of considerable benefit to all members of the Assembly in their consideration of central Canberra heritage matters. Members of the Assembly will recall that the Government has established a task force to pursue the identification of heritage sites in the central Canberra area. The task force will make recommendations to the ACT Heritage Committee on places for inclusion in an ACT heritage register.
The central Canberra heritage study will be used as one of the sources for the task force. It should not be regarded as a de facto heritage register in lieu of the official register to be developed by the task force.
JERRABOMBERRA WETLANDS
MS FOLLETT: On 23 May, Mr Moore asked me a question seeking an immediate report on the toxic leaching effect of recent heavy rain on the Mugga Lane dump and its effect on the Jerrabomberra wetlands. I have a report available and seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.

SHARE TRANSFERS
MS FOLLETT: Yesterday the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Kaine, asked me a question about changes to the stamp duty liability in respect of the sale of shares and units in landowning, unlisted companies and unit trusts. I have a report prepared for me by the ACT Treasury. I seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard.
