Mr Lamont: That is all you have done for the last five hours - little relevance and little truth.
MADAM SPEAKER: Order! Mrs Carnell has the floor.
MRS CARNELL: Again, Madam Speaker, we totally support this motion. We believe that these sorts of developments are a good thing for the ACT; but it is absolutely essential for any government to ensure that the money they are putting into these programs is well spent and is spent in an appropriate fashion and that we as taxpayers get a return for our dollar.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Draft Variation to the Territory Plan - Urambi Hills Nature Park
MR BERRY (Manager of Government Business) (10.02): I present report No. 34 of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure on the draft variation to the Territory Plan relating to the Urambi Hills Nature Park, part block 1466, in the district of Tuggeranong, together with a copy of the extracts from the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Monday, 28 November 1994, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:
That the report be noted.
This is not a controversial report. Then again, I did not think the last one was either. Ms Szuty got off scot-free, which was a fancy bit of footwork.
Mr De Domenico: We supported it and got abused. She did not and got the lolly. Wonderful!
MR BERRY: We all supported it. You look as though you are going to be on your lonesome there.
This report goes to the issue of the provision of further public nature reserve. On 17 November the Minister referred the draft variation and background papers relating to the Urambi Hills Nature Park, block 1466 in the district of Tuggeranong, to the committee. The purpose of the variation is to retain the current land use policy - which is hills, ridges and buffer areas - but to change the overlay from a subject to review overlay to a public land nature reserve overlay. This will entail the preparation of a management plan for the area by the Conservation and Wildlife Section of the Environment and Conservation Division. This plan will become a statutory document when concluded.
