in their recommendation the factors as to why there was not a problem. That would be necessary. They can say that there is not a problem for X, Y and Z reasons or there are no traffic issues related to a particular variation. On that basis, Mr Speaker, I think it is important to make sure that that stays there in the format that has been suggested by Mr Kaine.
In relation to the issue about Australian Capital Territory Electricity and Water, as I have already indicated, that often can be a very important factor in relation to whether a development should go ahead. In the draft series of amendments that I have prepared for the main legislation I am actually referring to the requirement for urban infrastructure statements; statements on the impact of a particular development on the infrastructure system that applies in a particular area at the time.
On that basis I think it is important to retain those sections. I will seek support from the members to retain that. I would hope that the members of the Liberal Party would assist in making sure that the community gets as much information in relation to these very important issues as is necessary to enable them to make their comments on draft planning variations in the future. I move:
