MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 1094
Residential Land Development
Mrs Carnell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning -
In relation to land sold by the Government for housing development in the past two years:-
(1) In each development, (a) how many dwellings were proposed, (b) how many
were approved and (c) how many were not approved.
(2) What was the average return to the Government on each of the blocks of land
sold during this period in each of these developments.
(3) What was the average number of dwellings approved per hectare during this
period in each of these developments.
(4) What number of blocks and what area in hectares were released in each
development.
Mr Wood - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:
Land is sold by the Government for housing development in the form of broadacre estates to be developed by the private sector, joint venture estates jointly developed by the Government and the private sector, multi-unit sites, or single residential sites. The following answer to this question refers to broadacre, joint venture and multi-unit developments. In addition to these sites, a number of single residential blocks have been sold at auction or over the counter in the past two years.
(1) In the sale conditions for each development, it is usual to indicate at the time
of sale a minimum number of dwelling units. In some circumstances, for
example on a site with particular planning constraints, a maximum number of
dwellings is also specified. After sale, developers are required to prepare
implementation plans which indicate the proposed number of dwelling units in
each development. These plans are considered against the relevant elements
of the Territory Plan and design and siting provisions.
