MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 8 to 10 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment No 8 substitutes a new clause 53 (1) (a) of the bill to enable development tables to specify a minimum assessment track rather than just an assessment track. It clarifies that the development tables can specify a minimum assessment track as per the proposed restructured territory plan. A development proposal may end up being assessed under a minimum track, for example a code, or a higher track, for example merit, depending on the specifics of the individual design. This makes the bill congruent with the restructured territory plan and clarifies the operation of the proposed assessment tracks. Amendments Nos 9 and 10 are companion amendments to amendment No 8.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause 53, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 54.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (5.00): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 11 to 14 circulated in my name together.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 11 to 14 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment No 11 provides clarification of clause 54 (1) of the bill by inserting the words “or precinct code, that is, a concept plan” after the words “general code”. This makes it clear that a precinct code, that is, a concept plan, can but does not have to contain rules and criteria for the purposes of development assessment. Amendment No 12 revises clause 54 (1) (a) of the bill by deleting the reference to code requirements. The restructured territory plan refers to rules instead of code requirements. This amendment makes the bill congruent with the restructured territory plan.
Amendment No 13 revises, again, clause 54 (1) (b) of the bill by deleting the reference to merit criteria. The restructured territory plan refers to criteria instead of merit criteria. Amendment No 14 substitutes clause 54 (5) of the bill to provide for a new definition of a general code. The amendment simplifies the existing provision and also makes it clear that if the general code includes rules and/or criteria, these must apply in the assessment of development applications.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause 54, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 55 to 59, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
