Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (2 December) . . Page.. 4337 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

As Mr Humphries was speaking about change and about some people's resistance to change, I was thrown back to some 20 or so years ago when I read Alvin Toffler's Future Shock. People here may remember that the theme of Toffler's book was that people who engage in a great deal of change in their business life cannot stand any change at all when they go home; that they have to have things exactly as they were. There may be some elements of future shock in people's decisions to protect their amenity in a changing society. If that is the case it is something we probably should respect.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR MOORE (7.54): Mr Speaker, I present Report No. 40 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, entitled "Draft Variation to the Territory Plan (No. 81): Monaro Highway Realignment (Williamsdale) and Minor Corrections", together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Thursday, 27 November 1997, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

This report, like the two following it, is relatively non-controversial. I think the department has been very forthright in its explanations to the committee. We approved this variation.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR MOORE (7.56): Mr Speaker, I present Report No. 41 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, entitled "Draft Variation to the Territory Plan (No. 88): Territory Plan Correction Series - Legislative Changes and Minor Corrections", together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Thursday, 27 November 1997, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

This variation is a result of changes we made to the legislation. The committee believes it is appropriate that the Territory Plan be consistent with the legislation.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
