commercial and so on. For each policy the plan lists the objectives and the controls which may apply. It also lists the circumstances where proposals do not have to be publicly notified, and where third party appeals are not provided. These are usually where a proposal meets all the required standards and has no effect on local amenity.
The major changes between the plan referred to the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee and the plan now tabled include the addition of a section covering the subregional context, additional metropolitan structure and residential principles, and the addition of policies concerning the protection of significant streetscapes. The issues of energy efficiency for new dwellings and subdivision of existing residential blocks are also addressed. The plan removes some previous public land exclusions, particularly along Ginninderra and Sullivan's Creeks. The design and siting policies for group development and performance measures for landscaping have also been revised. The opportunity has also been taken to correct a number of minor errors in the document considered by the committee and to incorporate the details of policy variations which have been finalised since 20 November 1992. The written statement has also been amended to respond to comments from the National Capital Planning Authority.
The new Territory Plan will provide Canberra and the Territory with a range of planning policies that will guide its development into the twenty-first century. It is a very thorough piece of work and it brings credit to all the people that have been involved in its preparation. I commend it to the Assembly.

STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Tuggeranong Homestead and its Site - Government
Response
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (3.24): Madam Speaker, for the information of members, I present the Government's response to the report of the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment entitled "The Cultural and Heritage Significance of the Tuggeranong Homestead and its Site" and move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Madam Speaker, the report of the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment entitled "The Cultural and Heritage Significance of the Tuggeranong Homestead and its Site" was tabled in the Assembly on 15 December 1992. The report contains 11 recommendations and the Government's response gives its agreement, or agreement in principle, to all of those recommendations. The Tuggeranong Homestead site of some 31 hectares is confined within an area bounded by Ashley and Johnson Drives and the realigned Tuggeranong Creek. The site has been identified as part of the Government's urban renewal program which places greater emphasis on meeting the demand for new housing by developing land in or adjacent to established areas and makes use of existing physical, social and commercial infrastructure.
