Heritage Areas

Mr Whalan: On 30 May 1989 Mr Jensen asked the Chief Minister the following question:

Will the Chief Minister undertake to assure the Assembly that action will be taken to examine the ACT Unit Titles Ordinance to change the current requirement for residential blocks, especially in heritage or potential heritage areas, to be divided into a minimum of four, thereby reducing the possibility of houses like the ones at 10 Murray Crescent and 37 Telopea Park West being demolished in the future?

My response is that the Unit Titles Act 1970 has been under consideration for some time. In 1987-88 a consultant, Mr Gary Bugden, carried out a consultative review of the legislation. He reported in 1988, and made a number of recommendations for amendment of the legislation, including that the minimum number of units allowable for a unit title registration be reduced from four to two.

The question of heritage is not one for the Unit Titles Ordinance but for comprehensive heritage legislation, a project which is already being given a high priority by the Government.

Mr Bugden's report will be considered by the Government as soon as possible, in order that new legislation to regulate unit titles can be introduced to the Assembly.
