The bill maintains a strong environmental impact assessment process whilst recognising the need for orderly and affordable provision of land and essential infrastructure for the future. This bill reflects the difficult task faced by the community and by government in balancing the many competing pressures brought to bear on planning for our city’s future.

Debate (on motion by Mr Seselja) adjourned to the next sitting.
