� removing the overlay symbol on the Territory Plan Map indicating that special requirements apply in the National Capital Plan flanking Main Avenues and Approach Routes
� amending Figure 1 of the Civic Centre policy in Part B2A of the Territory Plan Written Statement to include part of Ainslie Avenue from Bunda Street to the west side of Ballumbir Street in the Precinct 'd' Car parking area and adjusting the boundary of the Precinct 'al' Retail core area, and
� adding controls for development over Ainslie Avenue to the controls for the Car parking precinct at Clause 4.8 of the Civic Centre policy in Part B2A of the Territory Plan Written Statement.
A Preliminary Assessment of the impacts of the proposal was released for public comment in April 1998. The issues raised during this process were considered in preparing the draft Variation.
The draft Variation was released for public comment, in conjunction with the Amendment to the National Capital Plan, in July 1998.
The Amendment to the National Capital Plan has been approved and tabled in Federal Parliament.
The exhibited draft Variation was revised following the public consultation.
In particular, the controls relating to development over the Ainslie Avenue Alignment at Clause 4.8 of the Commercial A polices have been amended to address urban design, landscaping and access issues as follows:
� the setback requirement from Ballumbir Street has been increased to 60 metres and the controls relating to forecourt landscaping have been clarified so that the standard and quality will reflect existing landscape and paving treatments in Garema Place.
