INTERIM PLANNING ACT 1990 - DECLARATIONS UNDER SECTION 51
Ministerial Statement and Declarations

MR KAINE (Chief Minister), by leave: Mr Speaker, I would like to make a statement on declarations under section 51 of the Interim Planning Act 1990. It is quite short; it is something of a formality. Pursuant to section 51(4) of the Interim Planning Act 1990, I wish to table a copy of two declarations made under section 51(1)(c) of that Act. On 12 March 1991, the transition period under the ACT (Planning and Land Management) Act of 1991 ended by proclamation of the Governor-General. Concurrently, the Interim Planning Act of 1990 came into effect.

At the end of the transition period, the Interim Territory Planning Authority had 11 draft variations to NCDC policy which had been submitted to the National Capital Planning Authority and released for public comment but which had not been submitted to the ACT Executive for approval. The Authority also had three draft variations to NCDC policy which had been submitted to the Executive for approval but had not been approved.

Section 51 of the Interim Planning Act of 1990 provides for the continuance of the preparation and approval of draft variations subject to their compliance with the requirements of this section. It is also under the provisions of this section that the ACT Executive must declare by instrument that this section applies to these draft variations. Mr Speaker, I table the following two declarations:

Interim Planning Act - Declarations (2) pursuant to sub-section 51(1)(c), dated 24 April 1991.

ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES - STANDING COMMITTEE

Alteration to Reporting Date

MR PROWSE, by leave: I move:

That the resolution of the Assembly of 19 September 1990, as amended, be amended by omitting "by 1 May 1991" and substituting "by 6 June 1991".

Members, we are pushing ahead with this program. There have been a number of issues that have not been debated and we will certainly bring the report down as soon as practicable.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
