Under the variation to Belconnen, section 154 block 2, the Alliance Government proposed to give it to the RSL for a retirement village. The site is on the western foreshores of Lake Ginninderra and is part of the open space around the lake. There are extensive areas of open space around Lake Ginninderra, and the need for all of this will be reviewed in a comprehensive way by the ACT Planning Authority in the context of the draft Territory Plan which will be released for public comment before being considered by the Government. I will be talking with representatives of the RSL to determine an alternative site for their proposal.
The final variation which has been revoked affected the Downer Local Centre. The Government will ask the ACT Planning Authority to prepare a further variation for the centre but excluding the site of the Industry Training Development Centre, which is the former primary school building.
The variations will remain before the Assembly for the next six sitting days, until 11 September, during which time the Assembly may pass a resolution rejecting the whole or part of any of them. If such a resolution is not passed within this period, notices of approval will be published in the Gazette and the variations will come into effect on the day specified in the notices.
