the committee to hear the views and the ideas of the ACT’s young people about the future that we are building and the city in which we live. I present the following paper:

Parliament of Youth on Sustainability—White Paper, dated June 2016.

Planning, Environment and Territory and Municipal Services—Standing Committee

Statement by chair

MS BURCH (Brindabella): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Planning, Environment and Territory and Municipal Services relating to petition No 3-16. The petition was received by the Assembly on 9 June and referred to the committee under standing order 99A. The petition concerned the development on the Red Hill public housing site enabled by variation to the territory plan 334 and requested changes to zoning, height limits, the number of dwellings and the reduction of office space.

The petition also called on the committee to hold an inquiry. Given the limited time remaining in this Assembly the committee will not be holding an inquiry. The committee is aware of the issues in the petition and these have been raised with the minister during this year’s estimates hearings. The committee notes that since the petition was received the government has held consultations on TA216-08 Red Hill, a technical amendment intended to address some of the concerns raised in the petition. Members of the Ninth Assembly may wish to further examine the development of former public housing sites and the approach to consultation taken by this Assembly and government.
