Land Tax
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, I also have some answers to questions which I took on notice. The first is from Mr Stevenson. It concerns the ability to rent a residential property for which a certificate of occupancy and use has not been issued, and the liability for land tax. The short answer to Mr Stevenson is that where there is not a certificate of occupancy and use issued in respect of a dwelling it cannot be occupied. Accordingly, such a dwelling cannot be rented until such time as the certificate has been issued. There is a lengthier answer which I would seek leave to have incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
Answer incorporated at Appendix 6.
Postal and Customs Services
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, I have an answer to a question, also from Mr Stevenson, relating to the potential for re-establishment of a customs section at the Fyshwick Mail Exchange. At the time I noted that this was not within my portfolio responsibilities, but I undertook to make some inquiries. I again have a fairly lengthy response to Mr Stevenson's question and I would seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard as well.
Leave granted.
Answer incorporated at Appendix 7.
Government Service - Home-Garaged Vehicles
MS FOLLETT: Finally, Madam Speaker, I have a response to a question from Mr Kaine relating to the review of arrangements under which ACT Government owned vehicles were home garaged and the timing of the report on that matter. My advice, Madam Speaker, is that the findings from the review on home garaging will be available for Government consideration in March 1994 and, as I have said, I will report the results to the Assembly. I seek leave to have that answer incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
Answer incorporated at Appendix 8.
