MS LE COUTEUR: Thank you. I move:

Omit all words after “notes”, substitute:

(a) the increasingly rundown state of Kambah Village shopping centre and the surrounding environment;

(b) the way in which the suburb of Kambah has evolved over the past 10 years, particularly in relation to the provision of shopping facilities;

(d) the need for appropriate planning for this area to take account of:

(i) developments that have taken place;

(ii) the loss of schools from this area;

(iii) the existing infrastructure; and

(iv) developments which are proposed;

(e) that there is wide community concern about changes to local suburbs and shops around Canberra; and

(f) there is no systematic process for involving local communities in the planning processes that are impacting on communities; and

(2) calls on the ACT Government to:

(a) extend currently proposed consultation to include a master plan of the Kambah Village site and surrounding environment, taking into account relevant economic, environment and social objectives;
