Clause 165, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 166 to 169, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 170.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.11): I move amendment No 51 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
This amendment substitutes clauses 170 (1) (b) and (c) of the bill to clarify when a development approval takes effect. This clause applies when there is no potential for a development approval to be challenged by third parties in the merit review before the AAT because one or more of the circumstances set out in the revised clause 170 (1) (b) apply. This clause makes it clear that in this circumstance, the development approval commences—
MR SPEAKER: Do you want to raise a point of order, Dr Foskey?
DR FOSKEY: Mr Speaker, I think we are out of sync here. I am just checking here. I think it happened back around Mr Barr’s amendment No 50.
MR SPEAKER: We are still on amendment No 51.
MR BARR: We are on clause 170, amendment No 51.
DR FOSKEY: That is right. But I am not sure that is what has been said. But if we are all now saying the same, that is really good.
MR SPEAKER: The question is that Mr Barr’s amendment No 51 be agreed to.
MR BARR: As I was saying, this clause makes it clear that, in the circumstance that a development approval commences operation a day after the application is approved—in other words, with no possibility of a third party appeal—there is no reason for a delay.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 170, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 171.
MR BARR (Molonglo-Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.14): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 52 and 53 circulated in my name together.
Leave granted.
