Planning—controlled activities
(Question No 2387)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Planning and Land Management, upon notice, on 22 March 2019 (redirected to the Minister for Building Quality Improvement):

(1) How many (a) controlled activity orders, (b) ongoing controlled activity orders and (c) rectification orders, in relation to a controlled activity were appealed during each financial year since 2007-08 to date.

(2) In relation to part (1), how many appeals broken down by type of order were (a) allowed or allowed in part, (b) settled, (c) dismissed,(d) withdrawn, (e) outstanding and (f) any other relevant category.

(3) What was the (a) minimum, (b) median, (c) average and (d) maximum number of days it took for (i) controlled activity orders, (ii) ongoing controlled activity orders and (iii) rectification orders, in relation to a controlled activity to be decided through any internal review processes, including waiting times.

(4) What was the (a) minimum, (b) median, (c) average and (d) maximum number of days it took for (i) controlled activity orders, (ii) ongoing controlled activity orders and (iii) rectification orders, in relation to a controlled activity to be decided by the ACT Administrative Appeals Tribunal each financial year since 2007-08 to date, including waiting times.

Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Records relating to controlled activity orders, ongoing controlled activity orders and rectifications orders are located on individual files and for the period 2007-08 to 2017-18 are not consolidated on an individual list. To provide accurate data Access Canberra would need to review all complaint files. This would require significant manual interrogation of each file and would be an unreasonable diversion of resources.

(2) Noting the response to the first question, for the period 2018-2019:-

Zero were confirmed by the tribunal, zero were varied, two were withdrawn by the person seeking a review of the decision, zero were finalised by consent of the Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and four remain active.

(3) There are no internal review processes under the relevant legislation for decisions to make or not make the orders listed in the question.

(4) Noting the response to the first question, for the period 2018-2019 the minimum number of days taken was 29, median was 40, average was 38 and maximum was 46.
