Planning—Ginninderry
(Question No 3261)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, upon notice, on 14 August 2020:

Given the Minister advised on 22 July 2020 (question on notice No 3055), in relation to the Ginninderry development on Parkwood Road, that environmental testing is currently underway for this location which will determine the nature of the development that will take place, when is testing expected to be completed and results made available.

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

Environmental testing will continue to be conducted on the West Belconnen Landfill for a minimum of a further 12 months. The timeframe is reliant on the environmental auditor’s agreement that the testing results provide an accurate view of seasonal weather conditions.

There are two sets of environmental testing currently being undertaken that relate to the West Belconnen Landfill:

• Transport Canberra and City Services are conducting environmental testing in relation to its work on the closure and capping of the West Belconnen Landfill. This phase of environmental testing is expected to be complete in 2020, depending on whether the results suggest further testing is required.

• The Ginninderry Joint Venture is conducting further environmental testing to provide evidence in its application for a reduction the Environmental Clearance Zone that surrounds the landfill. The testing is also designed to assist in the determination of what areas of the landfill might be suitable for a higher land use. This phase of environmental testing is expected to be completed in late 2021, depending on whether the results suggest further testing is required.
