MS ELLIS (3.49): Unfortunately, due to another committee commitment, I was unable to be at the Planning Committee meeting last week when this particular issue was discussed, but I want to take the opportunity of putting on public record my total and absolute endorsement of this variation. I agree with the words of Mr De Domenico. It is a great opportunity for a good development to go ahead.
Before leaving Canberra last week on that other committee work, I made a point of availing myself of all the available information relating to this variation, and on the basis of that information I passed on to the chair of the committee my endorsement of the variation should the committee decide to go down that track. I am particularly pleased to see that the committee's decision has gone the way it has. I congratulate the developer concerned in this particular instance. I think that they have a good development in front of them. I can see that it is going to be an enhancement of the suburban area in which it is located. The comments about possible future employment, particularly among our youth, but in general terms as well, have to be applauded. I am very happy to have my name against this variation as approved by the PDI Committee.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
