PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Draft Variation to the Territory Plan - Kambah
MR LAMONT (4.06): I present report No. 17 of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure on the draft variation to the Territory Plan - Kambah, section 7, part block 11, which is part of Gleneagles Estate, together with a copy of extracts of the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Friday, 10 December 1993, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:
That the report be noted.
This variation is in relation to a change to some of the planning densities in the Gleneagles Estate in Tuggeranong. It basically provides that, in lieu of 19 medium density dwellings, the developer be allowed to produce nine standard residential lots. The PDI Committee invited the one objector to a meeting with the committee, as well as the proponent and the planners. The basis of the objector's concerns was in relation to a road that was to pass in front of his house. Additional traffic would pass, were we to approve the variation.
Following discussion with the traffic engineers, the committee was satisfied that, while a resident has a legitimate entitlement to raise the types of concerns that he did, we could not find any inherent deficiency in the road construction and/or design. Indeed, the purpose of the road construction in this area is to reduce traffic speed in this part of the development. Therefore, the committee unanimously endorsed the variation. That report is before us this day.
MS SZUTY (4.08): I want to comment briefly on the variation that is proposed to be accepted by the Assembly. As Mr Lamont mentioned, we did have one objector who came along and made representations to the committee. I think it would be fair to say that committee members are always pleased to hear from members of the community who have particular concerns about planning matters. I made inquiries as to whether people buying into that particular part of the Gleneagles Estate had been notified about the proposal to build another nine dwellings on nine additional blocks in the area. I was told that the process has been satisfactory as regards informing people who are moving into the area about further likely development in the area, and I was happy to support the variation.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
