CONSERVATION, HERITAGE AND ENVIRONMENT -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Inquiry - Tuggeranong Homestead and Environs

MR MOORE: Madam Speaker, I ask for leave to make a statement regarding the new inquiry by the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment.

Leave granted.

MR MOORE: I wish to inform the Assembly that on 29 October 1992 the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment resolved to inquire into and report on the cultural and heritage significance of the Tuggeranong Homestead and environs. The Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning today spoke in question time on the issue of the Tuggeranong Homestead. It seems to the committee that, as it deals with the heritage of the Territory, it is an appropriate issue to report on. Therefore the committee has taken the following terms of reference:

That the committee inquire into and report on:

The cultural and heritage significance of the Tuggeranong homestead, its associated buildings and environs to ascertain -

1) the site boundaries necessary to maintain the historical context of the heritage area;

2) the extent and means by which the cultural and heritage integrity of the site should be shielded from adjacent existing and planned urban development; and

3) the benefit to, and the implications for, the community in maintaining the homestead and environs as a site of cultural and heritage significance.

In taking on that reference, the committee is very conscious of the fact that the Minister and his department have already done a great deal of work on this. It is the intention of the committee not to repeat that work but, with the cooperation of the Minister, to look at that work and put it in context. We do not intend that the report should take a long time and be a delay to any plans the Government has, unless the findings are in conflict with what the Government plans to do with that land. We approach the matter with an open mind and look forward to reporting to the Assembly on this issue.
