Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Ministerial responsibility for the Suburban Land Agency is outlined in Schedule 1 of the Administrative Arrangements 2017 (No 1) available from the ACT Legislation Register at http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/default.asp.

(2) The Suburban Land Agency did not receive appropriation for projects or initiatives in the 2017-18 Budget as it was self-funded. Future years will require projects and spending to be identified in the context of the annual budget and the statement of intent.

(3) The function of “major land and property project facilitation” is a policy function undertaken by the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD). The Suburban Land Agency is responsible for delivering the Indicative Land Release Program, which is developed by EPSDD. EPSDD provides support to both Ministers across the continuum of responsibilities. In doing so, it ensures appropriate intra- and inter-agency collaboration.

In performing its role, EPSDD is guided by the ACT Planning Strategy, the Minister for Planning’s 2015 Statement of Planning Intent, and the Chief Minister’s Canberra: A Statement of Ambition.
