(Incorporated in Hansard on 12 December 1991 at page 6025)
MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE
12 DECEMBER 1991
MR JENSEN: CAN THE MINISTER ADVISE WHEN THE DETAILS OF THOSE AREAS IN ANNEX I OF THE PLANNING REPORT CHANGE FROM OPEN SPACE OR SIMILAR LAND USE TO RESIDENTIAL WHICH IT IS PROPOSED TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP AS RESIDENTIAL AS OPPOSED TO ANCILLARY OPEN SPACE IN THE RESIDENTIAL PLAN WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC?
MY ANSWER IS:
THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC PROPOSALS AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP ANY OF THE AREAS PROPOSED AS POLICY CHANGES IN THE DRAFT TERRITORY PLAN. THEY ARE PLANNING PROPOSALS NOT DEVELOPERS PROPOSALS. HOWEVER, IF THE PLAN WAS TO PROCEED IN ITS CURRENT FORM, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PLANNING AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER SPECIFIC PROPOSALS FOR THOSE SUBJECT SITES. THE DRAFT TERRITORY PLAN CONTAINS CRITERIA WHICH WILL TRIGGER PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND APPEAL RIGHTS FOR PROPOSALS WITHIN THE AREAS IN QUESTION. THE ACT PLANNING AUTHORITY HAS ALREADY PUT IN PLACE A RANGE OF MECHANISMS TO MAKE AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES IN THE DRAFT TERRITORY PLAN.
A LETTER AND BROCHURE WERE SENT TO ALL ACT HOUSEHOLDS ADVISING THEM OF THE RELEASE OF THE DRAFT PLAN AND INVITING THEM TO VIEW IT AT EXHIBITIONS IN THE CANBERRA CENTRE AND ACT GOVERNMENT LIBRARIES. THE PLANNING REPORT RELEASED WITH THE DRAT PLAN DOCUMENTS ALL PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES. STAFF WERE AVAILABLE AT THE CANBERRA CENTRE EXHIBITION TO EXPLaIN THE DRAFT PLANS PROPOSALS. SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS HAVE BEEN HELD WHERE ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY COULD COME ALONG AND ASK QUESTIONS AND RAISE ISSUES. COPIES OF -THE POLICY CHANGE SCHEDULES WERE MADE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHANGE AT ALL SEMINARS.
A TELEPHONE "HOTLINE" HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THE COMMUNITY CAN SEEK ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE DRAFT PLAN IT DESIRES VIA THIS SOURCE. THE PLANNING AUTHORITY IS STATUTORILY REQUIRED TO DOCUMENT ALL ISSUES RAISED BY COMMUNITY IN WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS ON THE DRAFT PLAN. THE AUTHORITY HAS. CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS TO EMPHASISE AND ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO MAKE WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS ON THE DRAFT PLAN S PROPOSALS TO IDENTIFY ISSUES WHICH IN THEIR VIEW WHICH HAVEN’T BEEN SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED.
