PETITION

The Clerk: The following petition has been lodged for presentation:

By Mr Cornwell, from 55 residents, requesting that the Assembly:

(1) take appropriate action to ensure the variation of the lease application and the development application for block 2, section 36, Griffith are rejected;

(2) request the Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure to re-examine the current Guidelines and Territory Plan with a view to zoning multistorey townhouse developments only within designated areas of Canberra;

(3) introduce a moratorium to stop all multidwelling proposals until the Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure has completed its examination; and

(4) introduce improved mechanisms for community consultation in respect of any development applications.

The terms of this petition will be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate Minister.

Multistorey Townhouse Development, Griffith

The petition read as follows:

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory:

The Petition of certain residents of the ACT draws to the attention of the Assembly:

 the proposed development at 13 Lefroy Street, Griffith of three two storey, three bedroom townhouse units. We are concerned because:

. the massing of buildings in a two storey townhouse development is inconsistent with the neighbourhood and existing streetscape;

. residents have purchased and improved property in this area because of its character and if this development application is approved, there will be a fundamental change in the character of this suburb;
