Planning and Environment—Standing Committee—report 25—Draft variation to the territory plan No 260—changes to A10 residential core areas For Garran, Griffith, Hackett and Yarralumla—government response.

I seek leave to make a statement in relation to the papers.

Leave granted.

MR BARR: Draft variation No 260 to the territory plan proposes to amend the boundaries of the A10 residential core areas in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Garran, Griffith, Hackett and Yarralumla neighbourhood plans. The Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, in its report released in April, recommended that the proposed variation to the territory plan proceed. The committee noted that the proposed territory plan variation was broadly consistent with the Garran, Griffith, Hackett and Yarralumla neighbourhood plans in relation to the adjustment of the residential core areas. The committee also considered that the proposed retraction of some of the A10 residential core area specific policy areas was a reasonable compromise in the application of sustainability policies in urban Canberra.

Again, in tabling this response, I thank the committee for their consideration of the draft variation and acknowledge the formalisation of the outcomes of the neighbourhood plans for those suburbs.
