Madam Speaker, the Assembly resolution referring to the 2015-16 annual reports for inquiry by the Assembly standing committees sets a reporting date of “by the last sitting day in May 2017”. Due to the unavailability of some members of the committee to attend deliberative meetings at short notice, the committee has not been in a position to report by the date requested. Accordingly, the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety seeks to amend its reporting date to “by the last sitting day in June 2017”.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Reporting date

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (11.12): I seek leave to move a motion relating to the reporting date for the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal’s inquiry into annual and financial reports for 2015-16.

Leave granted.

MS LE COUTEUR: I move:

That the resolution of the Assembly of 16 February 2017, which referred specified annual and financial reports for the calendar years 2015 and 2016 and the financial year 2015-2016 to standing committees be amended at paragraph (4) after “standing committees are to report to the Assembly on financial year reports by the last sitting day in May 2017, on calendar year reports for 2015 by the last sitting day in May 2017” by inserting “except the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal”.

The planning committee is well advanced in its consideration of the annual reports, but we have not quite reached the finishing line, so I seek the Assembly’s indulgence in giving us a bit more time to finish our report.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
