Division 7.2.6, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 135.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (5.55): I move amendment No 33 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
This amendment modifies clause 135 (1) of the bill. It amends it in such a way that a proponent may apply to the authority for advice on the development of the proposal as to which track is likely to apply, public notification requirements et cetera.
Amendment 33 amends clause 135 (1) to require the authority to consider the request and provide advice in all cases unless the authority concludes that the information provided with the request is not sufficient for the authority to provide the advice. New clause 135(1B) requires the authority to tell the applicant if it has decided not to provide advice due to insufficient information.
MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (5.56): This is a sensible amendment which will improve the bill. It is not an unimportant amendment. It will certainly help proponents and make sure that they get on the right track. It will hopefully save a lot of time and prevent people from going down the wrong assessment track and having to start again. We certainly support this amendment.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 135, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 136.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (5.57): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 34 to 39 circulated in my name together.
