MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

- QUESTION NO 463

Heritage Places Register

Mr Kaine - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land. and Planning

When is it proposed to introduce the Heritage Places Register proposed under the planning legislation initiated by the Alliance Government.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as

follows:

As Mr Kaine will be aware, the legislation enabling the establishment of a Heritage Places Register is an integral part of the proposed planning and land use legislation which the Government is currently reviewing. As I have indicated separately in a response to the Oppositions more general question about the timetable for finalising the planning legislation, I anticipate that the legislation will be introduced into the Assembly in the September sittings:

I should also make it clear that the proposed Heritage Places Register will be incorporated .in the Territory Plan. This is achieved through the normal Plan variation process. However, the first of these variations will not happen until the proposed Heritage Council has prepared entries for the interim Heritage Places Register.

It is likely to take some months to finalise appointments to the Heritage Council and for it to develop the first interim Heritage Places Register entries. After this period, the proposed planning and land use legislation will require the.ACT Planning .Authority within a further 4 months to submit a variation to the Plan, and hence the Heritage Places Register, to the Executive for approval.
